ABB 3AXD50000042651 Motors & Drives - Regenerative IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000042651
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drives deliver compact regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, centrifuges, and downhill conveyors. Engineers often battle wasted braking energy and excessive cooling loads that raise operating costs. With CE compliance and an IP54-rated enclosure, these drives support harsh environments while maintaining power quality through unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content. The solution also supports a wide range of standard configurations, plus ABB’s Order-Based Engineering to tailor features for customer-specific devices. This combination reduces energy consumption, lowers cooling requirements, and improves overall system reliability—delivering measurable business value beyond simply controlling speed and torque.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042651 ABB: The ACS880-17 regenerative drives are a compact and complete regenerative drive solution, with every-thing you need for regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous braking applications. Such applications include cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyers and test benches.=20
With regenerative functionality, the braking energy of the motor is returned to the drive and distributed to the supply network so that it can be utilized by other equipment.=20
Compared to mechanical or resistor braking, where braking energy is wasted as heat, regenerative drive operation offers significant energy consumption and cooling savings.
The ACS880-17 regenerative drives achieve a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, indicating that electrical energy is being used efficiently and the drive.=20
The ACS880-17 comes with wide variety of standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors, to preventing unexpected motor starts. If the application requires more, ABB=E2=80=99s Order-Based Engineering services can add special features to the standard product, such as an additional cabinet for customer-specific devices. The robust design and enclosures up to IP54 make the ACS880-17 suitable for even very harsh environments.

FAQs
Install the ACS880-17 in a compliant enclosure and connect it to the motor, supply, and braking circuit per the ABB installation guidelines. Use standard configurations for line contactors and motor protection, and leverage ABB's Order-Based Engineering to add customer-specific devices. Verify compatibility with 315 kW, 585 A ratings and ensure proper grounding, shielding, and harmonic mitigation to maintain power quality.
Key specs include a 315 kW rating and 585 A input current, with a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content. These factors drive higher overall efficiency, reduce reactive power penalties, and improve feeder stability, especially in multi-drive installations. The IP54 enclosure supports reliable operation in demanding environments.
Yes. The ACS880-17 regenerative drive is designed for regenerative braking in cyclic or continuous braking applications, such as cranes and downhill conveyors. Its energy-recovery capability lowers energy consumption, while the robust enclosure and configurable options simplify integration into existing systems and safety architectures.
The drive is CE-compliant for European markets and features an IP54 enclosure rating for protection against dust and water ingress in challenging environments. It also delivers energy-efficient performance through regenerative braking, contributing to grid compatibility and safety compliance on industrial sites.
Maintenance aligns with standard drive practices: periodic inspections, firmware updates, and cabinet sealing checks for IP54 integrity. ROI derives from energy recovered during braking, reduced cooling requirements, and improved uptime due to robust enclosure and configurable protections. ABB’s engineering services further reduce integration time and long-term lifecycle costs.
