Part Number: 3AXD50000050412
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drives provide compact regenerative braking for cyclic or continuous applications such as cranes and elevators. Engineers often face wasted braking energy, high cooling costs, and complex wiring when using non-regenerative systems. They are CE compliant and offered in IP54-rated enclosures to withstand harsh environments, while the design supports unity power factor and low harmonic content. This combination helps reduce energy costs and improve overall drive-system efficiency, enabling flexible configurations for standard installations and future expansion in industrial automation settings.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000050412 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
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.
ACS880-17 regenerative drives return braking energy to the power network, delivering tangible energy savings and reducing cooling load in demanding applications such as cranes and downhill conveyors. The system maintains a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, ensuring better power quality and grid compliance in manufacturing facilities. With ready-made configurations and ABB’s Order-Based Engineering, installation time is shortened and system reliability is improved, even in retrofit projects.

FAQs
ACS880-17 regenerative drives are designed as a complete regenerative solution that integrates with standard ABB drive configurations. They support typical line and control wiring used in industrial automation projects and can be paired with existing ACS880 ecosystems. For customer-specific needs, ABB Order-Based Engineering can add cabinets or devices, helping reduce commissioning time and enable a smoother retrofit.
The drive returns braking energy back to the mains, enabling energy recovery instead of dissipating heat. It achieves unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, improving power quality. With a 160 kW rating and 174 A input, it supports demanding cyclic braking scenarios such as cranes or downhill conveyors, while maintaining reliable performance and reduced cooling loads.
Industries like material handling, crane systems, elevating equipment, centrifuges, and downhill conveyors benefit most from regenerative operation. The compact design and IP54 enclosure permit both indoor and rugged outdoor use, with configurable options to suit line-contactor layouts and safety interlocks. This makes it a strong fit for retrofit projects as well as new installations in harsh environments.
The ACS880-17 regenerative drives meet CE regulatory requirements and are available in IP54-rated enclosures for harsh environments. The system supports standard electrical safety features and can be configured with safety interlocks, line contactors, and protective devices as part of ABB's broader industrial automation portfolio, ensuring compliance and reliable operation in demanding facilities.
Expect measurable ROI from energy recovered during braking, lower cooling needs, and improved drive-system efficiency. Unity power factor reduces demand charges, while low harmonic content eases grid compliance. Maintenance is simplified by robust, modular design and ABB support, with Order-Based Engineering options to shrink cabinet footprint and reduce installation time for retrofits and new installations.
