Part Number: 3AXD50000042658
Quick Summary
The ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact, complete solution for regenerative braking in cranes, elevators, and conveyors for cyclic or continuous braking across demanding loads. Operators frequently struggle with wasted braking energy and overheating when using conventional braking systems. CE compliant and IP54-rated enclosure protect reliability and safety in harsh industrial environments, with ABB Order-Based Engineering for tailored safety configurations. These capabilities translate to energy efficiency, lower total cost of ownership, and smoother integration with automated systems. Its compact footprint and standard configurations help reduce cabinet space, shorten installation time, and simplify commissioning. Customers can scale up with ABB's engineering services for custom features and additional cabinets if needed.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042658 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
