ABB 3AXD50000145713 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145713
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive from ABB delivers compact regenerative operation for cranes, elevators, centrifuges, and downhill conveyors. Traditional braking wastes energy as heat and increases cooling costs, challenging energy management in demanding facilities. With CE certification and an IP54-rated enclosure, the unit meets stringent standards while tolerating harsh environments. In practice, it delivers a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, helping you meet electrical design targets and reduce utility charges. ABB’s Order-Based Engineering services can add customer-specific devices or cabinets to tailor the standard product to your installation and maintenance workflows. This reduces risk during scale-up and speeds time-to-value. Learn more about integration best practices.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145713 ABB: The ACS880-17 regenerative drives are a compact and complete regenerative drive solution, with every-thing you need for regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous braking applications. Such applications include cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyers and test benches.=20
With regenerative functionality, the braking energy of the motor is returned to the drive and distributed to the supply network so that it can be utilized by other equipment.=20
Compared to mechanical or resistor braking, where braking energy is wasted as heat, regenerative drive operation offers significant energy consumption and cooling savings.
The ACS880-17 regenerative drives achieve a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, indicating that electrical energy is being used efficiently and the drive.=20
The ACS880-17 comes with wide variety of standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors, to preventing unexpected motor starts. If the application requires more, ABB=E2=80=99s Order-Based Engineering services can add special features to the standard product, such as an additional cabinet for customer-specific devices. The robust design and enclosures up to IP54 make the ACS880-17 suitable for even very harsh environments.
Regenerative braking energy recovery is a core capability of the ACS880-17. The drive converts braking energy back to the DC link, returning it to the supply network rather than dissipating it as heat, which lowers energy consumption and reduces cooling requirements. This makes it ideal for cyclic braking tasks in cranes, downhill conveyors, centrifuges, and test benches, where energy efficiency directly influences operating costs. Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content are built-in benefits of the regenerative design. They improve power quality, ease electrical design, and reduce utility demand charges in process and material handling environments. This performance supports a stable operation of nearby equipment, sensors, and control systems while helping meet regulatory and grid-code requirements. ABB provides a broad range of standardized configurations for the ACS880-17, from line contactors to protective features that prevent unexpected motor starts. For projects with unique needs, ABB’s Order-Based Engineering services can add customer-specific devices or cabinets, ensuring a tailored, compliant solution without lengthy engineering cycles. Robust by design, the drive is rated for harsh environments with enclosure protection up to IP54. The compact, complete package minimizes cabinet space and simplifies installation, wiring, and commissioning. In practice, this translates to faster deployment, fewer integration risks, and lower total cost of ownership across plant-wide drive installations. Compatibility with ABB drive families and standard control interfaces enables seamless integration with existing automation architectures. The regenerative drive supports reliable operation in cyclic braking and continuous braking scenarios, backing up plant productivity and uptime while reducing heat loads and maintenance demands.

FAQs
The drive is designed for cabinet installation with an IP54 enclosure rating to withstand dusty or damp environments. Plan for appropriate cabinet space, wiring, and wiring routes for the main power, motor, and control interfaces. Use standard ABB protection and line contactors, and consider ABB’s recommended protective features to prevent unexpected motor starts during commissioning and operation.
During braking, the drive converts kinetic energy back to the DC link and returns it to the power network instead of dissipating it as heat. This enables energy efficiency gains, reduces cooling requirements, and improves overall power quality thanks to unity power factor and low harmonic content. The approach is especially beneficial in cyclic braking applications like cranes and downhill conveyors.
Yes. The ACS880-17 regenerative drive is purpose-built for cyclic and continuous braking tasks typical in cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches.
