Many systems waste braking energy as heat and require extra cooling, driving up operating costs and complicating maintenance. This module is UL-listed and designed to support CE-ready European installations, ensuring regulatory alignment across regions. With unity power factor and an integrated low-harmonic line filter, it reduces energy waste and cooling needs while maintaining high performance. For machine builders and systems integrators, the result is simpler installation and tangible ROI through energy efficiency and reliable operation in demanding applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115259 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.
Feature: Regenerative braking captures energy during deceleration, converting it back to usable electrical power. Benefit: lowers net energy consumption and reduces cooling load, delivering measurable cost savings in heavy-duty processes like conveyors and cranes. Application: Use in material handling systems and packaging lines to optimize overall energy efficiency. Feature: Integrated low-harmonic line filter with active supply unit keeps current distortion low. Benefit: improves power quality compliance, reduces EMI, and eases panel licensing. Application: Ideal for facilities with stringent power quality requirements in mining, metals, and chemicals. Feature: Compact bookshelf and flat variants with wheel-enabled pedestal support simplify cabinet installation. Benefit: speeds field deployment and minimizes footprint in machine closets. Application: OEMs and system integrators benefit from faster integration in bottling plants, pulp and paper, and automotive assembly lines. Feature: Broad industry customization and application scope (cranes, winches, winders, pumps, fans). Benefit: supports diverse machine configurations with a single platform, reducing spare parts and training needs. Application: Suitable for oil & gas, power plants, wastewater, and steel mills. Feature: Unity power factor and rugged design meet demanding industrial environments. Benefit: ensures efficient energy use and reliable operation under peak loads, lowering maintenance costs. Application: Heavy industry equipment and continuous process lines.
