Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115297 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 and reduces heat load. Business Impact: Lower energy consumption and cooling requirements translate to measurable OPEX reductions and improved process efficiency. Application: Material handling, crushers, and heavy conveyors in mining and cement plants benefit from energy recovery without additional cooling infrastructure. Feature: Unity power factor with integrated low harmonic filter. Business Impact: Cleaner power quality reduces line disturbances, minimizes EMI/EMC concerns, and simplifies panel design. Application: Oil & gas processing, metals refining, and large-scale pumps and fans in harsh environments. Feature: Compact bookshelf and flat cabinet variants. Business Impact: Easier installation inside existing control cabinets, lower enclosure footprint, and faster commissioning. Application: systems integrators deploying retrofits or greenfield installations in automated plants. Feature: Industry-customized configurations. Business Impact: Tailored performance for cranes, extruders, winches, winders, and conveyors yields higher uptime and lower commissioning risk. Application: OEM machine builders delivering turnkey automation solutions. Feature: Built-in energy efficiency with unity PF and low harmonics. Business Impact: Reduced energy costs, less cooling, and compliant electrical noise levels. Application: High-speed machinery and continuous process lines in chemicals, cement, and food processing.

FAQs
Plan cabinet space to accommodate the modular ACS880-14 package, noting bookshelf and flat variants that can be pushed into cabinets with a pedestal on wheels. Verify cabling for 690 V motor feeders, suitable wire sizes, and adequate cooling. Ensure the drive's integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit are correctly connected to minimize EMI/EMC concerns and simplify panel wiring.
Confirm the drive supports up to 315 kW and 330 A at 690 V, with UL-rated 300 Hp, 289 A, 600 V for alternative configurations. Check unity power factor operation and the integrated low harmonic filter specifications to ensure compatibility with your bus voltage, motor type, and feeder protections. Validate motor compatibility with your application (cranes, conveyors, pumps, fans).
Yes. ABB's ACS880-14 drives are engineered for demanding industries including oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and power generation. The regenerative capability and compact form factor suit machines requiring energy recovery and tight cabinet integration. Many OEMs leverage the drive for material handling, process control, and heavy-duty conveyors, with industry-specific customization to boost reliability.
The ACS880-14 module is designed for UL-listed safety and robust industrial integration. When deploying in regulated facilities, confirm whether CE marking and site-specific IP ratings are required for your installation. If you operate in sensitive environments, coordinate with your electrical team to ensure wiring practices, shielding, and enclosure ratings meet local electrical codes and plant standards.
ROI is driven by energy recovery reducing braking heat, unity PF reducing apparent power demand, and lower cooling needs. The modular bookshelf/flat variants enable easier commissioning and faster retrofits, cutting installation time. Maintenance focuses on inverter cooling, filter integrity, and wiring integrity; ABB drive platforms typically offer firmware updates and diagnostic data to minimize unplanned downtime.
