Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115266 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.

FAQs
The ACS880-14 module is designed for machine builders and system integrators, offering bookshelf and flat variants that fit compact cabinets. It supports easy integration with standard 690V DC bus and can be mounted inside panels with a pedestal option, enabling space-efficient layouts and streamlined wiring. For installers, plan for adequate ventilation, space for the integrated line filter, and access for maintenance while ensuring clear separation from high-noise equipment.
Regenerative braking captures energy that would otherwise become heat, feeding it back to the supply or grid and reducing heat load within the drive cabinet. Coupled with unity power factor and an integrated low harmonic filter, the solution lowers energy losses, diminishes cooling requirements, and can reduce electrical demand charges in large facilities such as conveyors, cranes, and pumps.
Yes. The ACS880-14 is purpose-built for demanding applications like conveyors and cranes, offering precise torque control, robust braking energy recovery, and compatibility with 690 V systems. Its regenerative capability and compact module design help operators achieve reliable load handling, improved process control, and energy efficiency in heavy-duty environments such as mining, metals, and material handling.
The drive module is UL-listed for industrial safety and performance. It is designed to meet common international safety expectations and supports high standards for power quality with its low harmonic content. When deploying internationally, verify local certifications and regional requirements (including CE or IP-related considerations for enclosure protection) to ensure full compliance in your site.
ROI is driven by energy savings from braking energy recovery, reduced cooling load, and improved power quality. The integrated design lowers panel complexity and maintenance needs, while the modular layout and vendor support simplify spare parts management and upgrades. For facilities with high braking demands (cranes, conveyors, and pumps), payback is typically accelerated by lower energy costs and reduced thermal management requirements.
