Part Number: 3AXD50000049193
Quick Summary
The ABB ACS880-14 regenerative drive module is a high-efficiency LV AC drive that powers material handling, cranes, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with energy waste, overheating, and poor power quality in harsh industrial settings. The drive meets CE safety and EMC requirements and is available in IP-rated configurations for rugged environments. For machine builders and system integrators, regenerative energy recovery lowers operating costs while maintaining a high unity power factor. The system supports a broad range of applications from cranes to conveyors and pumps, with regenerative braking that captures braking energy. Integrated with an active supply unit and low harmonic filter, it helps meet power quality standards while simplifying compliance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000049193 ABB: The ACS880-14 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps and fans.
The compact ACS880-14 regenerative drive module captures and utilizes braking energy which results in cost savings for the user. With mechanical or resistor braking energy is wasted as heat and additional cooling is often required, whereas regenerative drive operation offers significant savings in energy consumption and cooling. The drive reaches a unity power factor, meaning that electrical energy is used to its full potential. Equipped with an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, the regenerative drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content. These modules are specifically designed for machine builders and systems integrators. Bookshelf and flat variants can easily be pushed inside the cabinet using a pedestal on wheels.
