ABB 3AXD50000145805 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145805
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive from ABB provides regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, centrifuges, and downhill conveyors. Operators often wrestle with wasted braking energy and excessive cooling when using traditional braking methods. This compact, IP54-rated drive also delivers unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, helping maintain grid quality and reduce EMI in demanding plants. Standard configurations cover common installations, while ABB’s Order-Based Engineering can add a cabinet or bespoke features for customer-specific devices. Together, these capabilities translate into lower operating costs, shorter commissioning times, and safer, more reliable drive systems across industrial automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145805 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 operation returns braking energy to the power supply, delivering tangible business impact by cutting energy consumption, lowering cooling needs, and improving overall system efficiency. This enables cranes, downhill conveyors, centrifuges, and test benches to operate with reduced utility demand charges and simpler heat management. The drive also features unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, reducing electrical noise and grid impact, which translates to easier compliance and fewer EMI-related issues in multi-drive installations. Its IP54-rated, compact enclosure supports durable operation in dusty or humid factory environments, freeing space in tight plant layouts and speeding up installation. ABB’s standard configurations cover most applications, and Order-Based Engineering can add safety interlocks or customer-specific devices, accelerating commissioning and reducing integration risk. Finally, the 400 kW, 570 A rating supports high-throughput applications while maintaining robust regenerative capabilities that lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Plan for a dedicated control cabinet with an IP54-rated enclosure to withstand dusty or damp environments. Connect to supply lines and busbars, install line contactors, and configure safety interlocks per ABB installation guidelines. Use ABB documentation and Order-Based Engineering support to tailor the setup to your crane or hoist configuration, ensuring safe, reliable operation.
Key specs include a 400 kW power rating and 570 A current rating (IN), an IP54 enclosure for harsh environments, unity power factor, and ultra-low harmonic content. The system is regenerative, returning braking energy to the supply network, and is configurable with standard options plus optional customer-specific features.
Yes. The regenerative capability returns braking energy to the distribution network, enabling energy recovery and reduced cooling, which is ideal for downhill conveyors, cranes, and other cyclic braking applications. This reduces energy costs while maintaining stable speed control and ramping during load changes.
The ACS880-17 solution is CE-compliant and comes with an IP54-rated enclosure, providing protection against dust and water ingress. It also delivers a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content to support compliance with power quality standards in multi-drive industrial environments.
Regenerative braking reduces energy consumption and cooling requirements, which lowers operating costs and heat load on the plant. Maintenance benefits include fewer wear-related losses due to mechanical braking, predictable performance from a robust ABB design, and the option to tailor features via Order-Based Engineering, accelerating return on investment for high-load, high-cycle applications.
