Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115273 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 3AXD50000115273 is designed to complement and extend the ACS880-14 family, with bookshelf and flat variants that fit neatly into standard cabinets. Installation benefits include a compact footprint, an integrated active supply unit, and an optional pedestal-on-wheels for mobility within the control enclosure. For retrofit projects, verify cabinet clearance, cable routing, and harmonics management to ensure seamless upgrade without extensive panel redesign.
Regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be wasted as heat, feeding it back into the load or grid. The module delivers a unity power factor and low harmonic content, which reduces energy waste and cooling load while enhancing drive efficiency. This translates to lower operating costs, improved process stability, and smoother operation for material handling equipment like conveyors, cranes, and winders.
The drive module carries UL-listed safety recognition and is designed to meet CE-style compliance expectations for industrial automation. It adheres to IEC-based standards for 690 V systems, ensuring reliable integration in global plants. Always verify local regulatory requirements and your end-user specifications when finalizing procurement.
Plan for cabinet space that accommodates bookshelf or flat variant configurations, and ensure the pedestal-on-wheels option is available if mobility within the enclosure is needed. Confirm mains supply voltage of 690 V and the 200 kW/210 A rating aligns with the motor load. Use the integrated low harmonic filter to minimize EMI, and prepare for straightforward wiring to existing ACS880-14 control interfaces.
ROI improves as regenerative energy reduces net energy consumption and cooling demand. Expect faster payback in systems with frequent braking cycles, such as conveyors and cranes, where energy recovery directly lowers utility bills. Also factor in reduced component count due to the integrated unit, higher machine uptime, and simpler panel design, which collectively shorten project timelines and lower life-cycle costs.
