ABB 3AXD50000045970 Motors & Drives - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000045970
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact, complete regenerative drive solution designed to return braking energy to the supply network and support energy-efficient operation in industrial braking applications. Engineers often face wasted braking energy, complex integration, and cooling costs when braking is done mechanically or resistively. With a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, it aligns with CE-compliant industrial standards and IP54 enclosures for harsh environments. In ABB configurations, standard options simplify installation, while Order-Based Engineering can tailor features for customer-specific cabinets, delivering faster time-to-value. For procurement and maintenance teams, the solution reduces operating costs through energy recapture and predictable lifecycles, supporting broader automation and energy-efficiency goals in industrial facilities.
