ABB 3AXD50000145782 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145782
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact, complete regenerative drive that recovers braking energy for cyclic or continuous braking applications such as cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors and test benches. Many users struggle with wasted braking energy and excess heat, which drive higher cooling costs and reduce overall system efficiency. The drive delivers unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, and its IP54-rated enclosure supports operation in harsh environments. With a broad range of standardized configurations and ABB’s Order-Based Engineering options, it integrates smoothly with existing control systems while enabling predictable, long-term energy savings. This combination provides a robust foundation for modernization projects, reducing project risk and installation time.

FAQs
What should I plan for when installing the ACS880-17 regenerative drive? Start with ensuring the IP54 enclosure is appropriate for the environment, verify wiring practices for regenerative energy return, and align the drive configuration with your existing control system. Consider space for the unit, cabling routes, and proper protective devices to support safe, reliable operation.
The regenerative braking capability returns energy to the supply network, reducing heat and energy consumption during braking cycles. The drive’s unity power factor and low harmonic distortion support stable operation in heavy-duty, dynamic loads typical of cranes and elevators, while configurable protections help prevent unintended motor starts and faults.
It maintains a unity power factor and exhibits ultra-low harmonic content, which lowers upstream voltage distortion, reduces transformer loading, and improves overall electrical system efficiency. This is particularly beneficial in facilities with multiple drives or sensitive equipment nearby.
ABB provides a range of standardized configurations from line contactors to safety features, with Order-Based Engineering options to add customer-specific devices. This enables faster installation, tailored protection schemes, and smoother integration with existing automation architectures.
By recovering braking energy and reducing cooling needs, the ACS880-17 lowers energy bills and equipment cooling requirements. Its robust enclosure and flexible configurations shorten install times and reduce downtime, contributing to a faster payback and improved lifecycle cost in industrial automation applications.
