Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042652 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.
The ACS880-17 regenerative drive enables energy recovery during braking, delivering a clear business impact by reducing energy consumption and cooling requirements in cyclic or continuous braking applications such as cranes, downhill conveyors, and testing benches. This results in lower operating costs and improved process efficiency when integrated into industrial automation systems that demand reliable energy reuse and streamlined power management. The drive achieves unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, which translates to improved electrical system health, fewer compatibility issues with upstream feeders, and reduced penalties in power-hungry facilities. ABB provides a broad set of standardized configurations, including line contactors and motor-start prevention, delivering safer starts and simpler installation while lowering commissioning time. IP54-rated enclosures and robust protection enable operation in dusty or outdoor environments with minimal maintenance, expanding deployment options in harsh settings. Order-Based Engineering allows additional cabinet space or customer-specific devices to be added without compromising the standard delivery timeline, ensuring the control architecture aligns with crane, elevator, or conveying system requirements. In practice, this means shorter project cycles, easier compliance with plant-wide standards, and a scalable path from pilot to full production in industrial automation deployments.
