In industrial automation environments, this solution reduces energy intensity while improving system reliability and installation efficiency through standardized configurations and ABB’s engineering services.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042655 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.
Regenerative energy recovery drives the braking process back into the power network, reducing energy consumption and cooling loads in cyclic or continuous braking scenarios such as cranes and test benches. This translates to measurable cost savings and improved equipment uptime, especially in heavy-traffic production lines. The drive operates with a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, enhancing power quality and reducing utility penalties in facilities with sensitive electrical infrastructure. A wide range of standardized configurations supports quick deployment, while Order-Based Engineering can add customer-specific devices in a single cabinet, minimizing integration risk and cabinet footprint. The IP54-rated enclosure and robust design enable reliable operation in harsh environments, lowering maintenance frequency and spare parts inventory. Compatibility with ABB automation ecosystems simplifies wiring, commissioning, and future upgrades, delivering a smoother path from installation to full production, with long-term total cost of ownership improvements. Installation advantages include compact cabinet layouts, fewer external components, and streamlined testing procedures, helping engineers meet project timelines and budget targets. Industry-specific contexts such as material handling, mining, and process automation benefit from predictable regenerative performance and scalable configurations.
