Part Number: 3AXD50000050415
Quick Summary
3AXD50000050415 is a regenerative drive that optimizes braking energy for cranes, elevators, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with wasted braking energy and overheating from traditional resistive braking. CE marking and IP54 enclosure provide regulatory and environmental confidence, while unity power factor and low harmonics improve network efficiency. Designed for regenerative operation, it supports modular configurations and ABB's Order-Based Engineering for faster deployment and lower lifecycle costs. In practice, buyers look for products that reduce energy bills, simplify integration with existing motor control centers, and perform reliably in harsh environments. This ABB drive delivers a compact footprint, versatile configurations, and field-installable options to minimize downtime and accelerate time-to-value.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000050415 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.
Regenerative energy management is at the heart of the ACS880-17 system. The 3AXD50000050415 model returns braking energy to the supply, supporting a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, which translates to measurable energy savings and cooler operation in demanding applications such as cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors. In practice, this means lower utility charges and more reliable braking control when load conditions change rapidly. Compact, complete, and field-ready, the drive ships with standardized configurations that cover common needs from line contactors to anti-restart protections. This reduces panel footprint and wiring complexity, speeding up installation and commissioning. The integration with ABB’s broader drive ecosystem ensures consistent behavior with other motors and drives, and Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific devices in a dedicated cabinet if required. Durability matters in harsh environments, and the ACS880-17 family accommodates IP54 enclosures and rugged construction. This means fewer aftermarket enclosures and simpler cooling considerations in challenging plants. The predictable performance over a wide operating range helps maintain process stability. Versatile configurations and compatibility with existing motor control centers support a smooth migration path from legacy braking methods. The drive’s design minimizes downtime during upgrades and provides safer, more repeatable braking sequences. ABB’s engineering services can tailor features for safety, monitoring, and control logic to fit industry-specific compliance. From a total-cost-of-ownership perspective, regenerative operation reduces energy and maintenance costs, while standardized options help control project risk and lead times. The system’s warranty and service network underpins long-term reliability, and its scalable configurations make it suitable for expanding facilities and recurring capacity upgrades.
