ABB 3AXD50000145812 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145812
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive delivers compact regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, and other heavy-duty industrial equipment. Many facilities lose braking energy as heat with traditional drives, driving cooling and energy costs higher. The drive is CE-conforming and features an IP54-rated enclosure for harsh environments. Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content help meet grid limits, reduce reactive power penalties, and minimize electrical noise affecting nearby instruments. With regenerative energy recovery, reduced cooling loads, and improved reliability, it lowers total cost of ownership across capital projects. For procurement teams, configurable configurations, ABB support, and fast commissioning translate into lower project risk and longer equipment life.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145812 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 capability returns motor energy to the supply network rather than wasting it as heat, cutting cooling load and improving overall plant efficiency. This directly reduces energy consumption in braking-heavy applications such as cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors, delivering measurable operating cost savings. The ACS880-17 achieves unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, helping facilities stay within grid limits and avoid costly reactive power penalties. This performance also simplifies integration with existing electrical systems and reduces interference with nearby equipment. A wide library of standardized configurations supports a quick, reliable fit for most installations, while ABB's Order-Based Engineering can add customer-specific devices in a controlled cabinet. That flexibility shortens project timelines and minimizes field wiring, lowering commissioning risk. The robust enclosure up to IP54 protects the drive in challenging environments, from dust and moisture to vibration. Compact, modular design simplifies panel integration and reduces installation footprint. The integrated safety features, including line contactors and anti-start logic, prevent unexpected motor starts and enhance operator safety. Standard configurations include protective interlocks and safe-stop options to meet industry standards. Designed to work with ABB motors and standard drive architectures, the ACS880-17 streamlines spare parts, service, and maintenance planning. Its regenerative efficiency, low lifecycle costs, and scalable configurations deliver a strong ROI for equipment-intensive sectors.
