Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115303 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.
Regenerative energy management in the ACS880-14 module captures braking energy and feeds it back to the supply, reducing energy consumption and cooling needs in heavy machinery. This translates to lower operating costs and a smaller cabinet footprint for machine builders deploying conveyors, cranes, and extruders. The drive delivers a unity power factor and includes an integrated low-harmonic line filter, ensuring compliant power quality on demanding 690 V networks. This minimizes electrical stress on upstream equipment and improves reliability in industries such as mining, cement, and pulp and paper plants. The compact bookshelf and flat variants fit inside standard cabinets, enabling fast installation with minimal space requirements. This makes refurbishments and retrofits faster and reduces wiring complexity for system integrators. ABB tailors ACS880-14 modules to industries like oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and food & beverage, reducing engineering effort to meet sector-specific requirements. With broad compatibility for cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, pumps, and fans, the platform supports scalable automation across multi-line plants. The integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filter help maintain performance under varying loads and supply conditions. Machine builders and system integrators can rely on predictable maintenance and easy replacement parts, driving lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The ACS880-14 is designed for low-voltage 690 V networks and fits standard cabinet configurations, including bookshelf and flat variants. Installers should verify proper mounting clearances, adequate cooling, and correct 690 V input connections to the drive and motor. The unit supports modular installation and is optimized for machine builders and system integrators seeking straightforward integration without extensive rewiring or control changes.
Regenerative braking recaptures kinetic energy that would otherwise be wasted as heat, feeding it back into the supply and reducing net energy consumption. This lowers electricity costs and cooling loads, improves overall system efficiency, and can extend drive life by reducing thermal stress. Typical ROI improves in high-duty-cycle applications such as cranes, conveyors, pumps, and winders.
Yes. The ACS880-14 regenerative drive module is engineered to support diverse industries, including oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, and food & beverage. Its configurable control, rugged design, and compatibility with 690 V networks enable reliable operation in harsh environments while meeting sector-specific demands for energy efficiency, safety, and process control.
The module is UL-listed with Pld 350 Hp (UL rating) and features an integrated low-harmonic filter to help meet electrical quality standards. Unity power factor support and robust protection features further assist with grid compliance. While UL certification is specified, users should verify CE or regional markings based on location and project requirements.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings, reduced cooling requirements, and lower maintenance due to modular hardware with common spare parts. The device’s compact form factor simplifies cabinet design, while the active supply unit enhances reliability. For multi-line plants, standardized installation, remote monitoring, and scalable configurations help reduce maintenance cycles and accelerate upgrades.
