FAQs
Installation begins with selecting a standard configuration that matches your motor and line-rated voltage, followed by wiring to the drive’s control and power terminals. ABB recommends using the included cabinet options and line contactors where applicable. Ensure IP54-rated enclosure placement and proper heat dissipation. The Order-Based Engineering option can simplify integration for customer-specific devices. Verify protective interlocks and motor protection settings in the parameter library to prevent unintended starts during regenerative operation.
Key specs include a 200 kW power rating and 361 A input current, with regenerative capability that returns braking energy to the supply network. The drive maintains a unity power factor and exhibits ultra-low harmonic content, improving power quality. It is designed for cyclic and continuous braking applications such as cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyers, delivering reliable, energy-efficient operation with configurable protections.
Yes. The ACS880-17 is designed for regenerative braking in cyclic or continuous braking scenarios typical of cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. Its compact form factor, configurable safety features, and energy recovery capability help reduce energy consumption, lower cooling loads, and simplify electrical design in these applications. The IP54 enclosure further supports harsh environments common in these industries.
The drive features an IP54-rated enclosure, which protects against dust ingress and water exposure suitable for many industrial environments. Safety considerations include protection against unexpected motor starts via configurable device protection settings and compliance with typical safety standards for industrial drives. The CE-compliant design supports global safety expectations, while energy recovery reduces thermal stress on braking resistors and cooling systems.
Regenerative braking returns energy to the supply network, reducing wasted braking heat and lowering cooling costs. The unity power factor and low harmonic content reduce electrical utility impact and improve system efficiency. Combined with faster deployment through standard configurations and optional engineering services, this translates to a shorter payback period and lower total cost of ownership for OEMs and end users.
