Part Number: 3AXD50000042654
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drives from ABB deliver compact regenerative operation for cranes, elevators, and braking-heavy machinery. Traditional braking saps energy and increases cooling demands, driving up operating costs. The design emphasizes IP54 protection and safe, efficient operation, with unity power factor and ultra-low harmonics helping utilities. ABB’s configurable options, including Order-Based Engineering, support customer-specific needs while maintaining a compact footprint. This combination delivers measurable business value by reducing energy consumption, enhancing system reliability, and simplifying integration with existing control architectures. For procurement, the rugged enclosure and robust engineering translate to lower maintenance, longer service intervals, and predictable lifecycle costs.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042654 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
