ABB 3AXD50000145744 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145744
Quick Summary
ACS880 regenerative drive from ABB delivers compact regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, and conveyors. Many automation systems waste braking energy as heat, driving higher cooling costs and lower overall efficiency. This model is CE compliant and features an IP54 enclosure, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. With unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, it minimizes electrical stress while boosting energy efficiency and grid compatibility. This makes it a strong value proposition for retrofits and new installations, especially when paired with ABB's configurable engineering options for tailored performance.

FAQs
ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive is designed for straightforward integration with standard AC motors and compatible control architectures. Begin with matching motor voltage and current ratings, verify wiring schematics, and plan for a compact cabinet footprint due to the built-in protection features. ABB Order-Based Engineering can help tailor connections, protective devices, and I/O schemes for seamless retrofit or new installation.
Key specs include a 710 kW nominal power rating and a 1210 A operating current, with regenerative braking that returns energy to the supply network. The drive achieves unity power factor and ultra-low harmonics, improving power quality. The IP54 enclosure supports rugged environments, and standard configurations cover a wide range of braking and safety options for industrial applications.
Yes. The ACS880-17 regenerative drive is explicitly designed for cyclic or continuous braking in cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. Its regenerative energy recovery reduces heat, lowers cooling requirements, and improves overall energy efficiency, making it a strong fit for heavy handling and dynamic braking scenarios in challenging installations.
The drive is CE compliant and features an IP54-rated enclosure, aligning with European safety and environmental standards. These protections help ensure safe operation in dusty, humid, or dirty industrial environments. While manufacturing certifications may vary by region, the combination of CE compliance and IP54 enclosure supports compliance in many industrial projects and food-grade or cleanroom-adjacent settings when applicable.
Benefits include energy recovery that lowers utility costs, reduced cooling load due to lower heat generation, and improved power quality reducing electrical disturbances. The modular, configurable design minimizes installation complexity, and ABB’s support ecosystem (including Order-Based Engineering) helps optimize maintenance planning, spare parts availability, and long-term reliability for retrofits and new builds.
