Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145737 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 with energy recovery reduces overall energy consumption and cooling requirements in demanding applications such as cranes and downhill conveyors. The IP54 enclosure delivers rugged reliability in factory floors and outdoor environments, while the unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content improve facility power quality and utility metrics. Standard configurations minimize engineering time; Order-Based Engineering enables feature extensions without overhauling control logic. The drive integrates easily with ABB automation ecosystems and supports pre-wired cabinets and compatible motors, accelerating installation for OEMs and retrofit projects. Compatibility with common control interfaces simplifies commissioning and reduces maintenance risk, delivering predictable total cost of ownership in harsh industrial settings. Real-world deployments show measurable energy savings, lower cooling loads, and longer motor life through controlled regenerative braking and smooth torque delivery.

FAQs
The ACS880-17 is designed for compatibility with ABB standard configurations and widely used third‑party motors through common control interfaces. It supports standard cabinet layouts and pre‑wired harnesses to reduce installation time, while Order‑Based Engineering can tailor feature sets for customer devices. For retrofit projects, verify motor data, safeguarding, and communication bus compatibility during commissioning.
Best suited for applications requiring regenerative braking such as cranes, downhill conveyors, centrifuges, elevators, and test benches. The energy-recovery capability reduces energy waste and cooling needs, delivering a smaller carbon footprint. Its rugged IP54 enclosure accommodates harsh environments, making it suitable for harsh factory floors and outdoor installations.
The 630 kW ACS880-17 delivers unity power factor operation and ultra‑low harmonic content, improving overall power quality and reducing electrical stress on the grid and upstream equipment. This performance translates into fewer electrical disturbances, easier compliance with efficiency standards, and reduced requirements for external harmonic filters in larger installations.
This model features an IP54 rated enclosure, designed for protection against dust and water ingress in industrial settings. The IP rating supports reliable operation in harsh environments, including production floors, outdoor sites, and areas with exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature variations, while maintaining performance and ease of maintenance.
ROI is driven by energy recovery during braking, reduced cooling loads, and lower total cost of ownership over time. The drive’s robust design and standard configurations shorten deployment, while ABB Order-Based Engineering can tailor features without disrupting maintenance cycles. Routine checks focus on cooling, wiring integrity, and firmware updates to maintain peak regenerative performance.
