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 braking is built in, returning energy to the supply network rather than wasting it as heat. This directly lowers energy consumption during braking, reduces cooling demands, and extends brake component life. It’s particularly impactful in cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors where frequent braking occurs. Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content improve site power quality, reducing utility penalties and easing integration with other drives in a shared electrical system. The IP54-rated enclosure and robust design support reliable operation in harsh industrial environments, enabling installation in outdoor or dirty conditions without compromising performance. Configurability is a key strength, with ABB’s Order-Based Engineering services enabling additional cabinets or customer-specific devices to fit unique control architectures and safety requirements, reducing commissioning time and risk. Standard configurations cover essential protective features, line contacts, and anti-start functions, simplifying installation and ensuring safe, predictable startup across diverse applications. These capabilities translate to measurable ROI through energy recovery, lower cooling costs, and improved uptime in automated material handling and process lines.
