ABB 3AXD50000115310 ACS880-14 Regenerative Drive - UL 450 Hp
Part Number: 3AXD50000115310
Quick Summary
ACS880-14 regenerative drive from ABB delivers efficient regenerative braking for conveyors and lifting equipment. Many facilities waste braking energy and face high cooling costs without regeneration. It features UL-listed safety and IEC-based safety compliance, plus an integrated low-harmonic line filter to maintain power quality with unity power factor. These capabilities translate to lower energy bills, smaller cooling loads, and easier integration with plant control systems. Compatible with crane, pump, and conveyor applications, it supports modular installation and scalable automation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000115310 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.
