ABB 3AXD50000145768 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145768
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive delivers compact energy-regenerative control for cranes, elevators, and test benches in modern manufacturing environments. In cyclic braking or continuous deceleration, traditional systems waste braking energy as heat, increasing cooling loads and annual energy costs while reducing overall system efficiency. With IP54-protected enclosures, a CE-compliant safety design, and SIL-ready configurations, this drive is built for harsh industrial environments and compliant operations. ABB’s configurable options, including Order-Based Engineering, industry-specific I/O modules, and a broad range of standard configurations, help you optimize downtime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify integration with plant automation platforms. Customers gain faster time-to-value by reducing wiring complexity, benefiting from a near-unity power factor, and experiencing lower harmonic distortion in the facility’s electrical network.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145768 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 returns energy to the supply network, reducing energy consumption and cooling load in braking-intensive machinery. The business impact is lower operating costs, improved equipment availability, and quieter plant floors, especially in cranes, elevators, centrifuges, and downhill conveyors. This approach is a practical cornerstone of modern process automation that helps you meet sustainability targets while maintaining throughput. Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content keep power quality high, reducing electrical stress on the distribution network and mitigating power factor penalties. The result is steadier motor control, fewer electrical disturbances, and compliant operation in facilities with stringent electrical standards. In automated packaging lines and factory automation setups, this translates to more reliable uptime and easier integration with existing bus systems. Wide standard configurations streamline deployment by offering cover-to-cabinet options with line contactors and built-in protections that prevent unexpected motor starts. The business impact includes faster commissioning, reduced wiring complexity, and lower risk of misconfiguration. In heavy equipment installations and test benches, that translates to shorter project cycles and more predictable performance. Order-Based Engineering lets ABB tailor features to customer needs, adding cabinets or device panels for customer-specific safety relays, I/O, or communication options. This minimizes custom integration work and lowers total project cost, while preserving the drive’s robustness and warranty. For applications requiring additional safety or integration with third-party controllers, this capability delivers a practical, cost-effective solution. IP54-rated enclosures and a rugged industrial design provide protection against dust and water, enabling installation in outdoor or dirty environments with minimal enclosure protection upgrades. The compact footprint simplifies cabinet design, reduces wiring, and accelerates commissioning in busy production spaces. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to modular components and ABB service options, supporting long service intervals and predictable lifecycle costs.
