ABB 3AXD50000145829 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145829
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact regenerative drive solution that returns braking energy to the power network in cyclic or continuous braking applications such as cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. This design helps reduce energy waste and lowers cooling loads by converting braking energy back to the grid rather than dissipating it as heat. The drive achieves a unity power factor with ultra-low harmonic content, supporting efficient facility power quality and simpler electrical design. With flexible standard configurations and ABB’s Order-Based Engineering options, it adapts to varying installation needs while preserving reliability. By combining robust enclosure options with straightforward installation, this drive delivers measurable business value, including energy cost reductions and improved uptime for critical operations.

Yes. The ACS880-17 is designed for cyclic and continuous braking applications such as cranes and downhill conveyors. Its regenerative capability returns braking energy to the electrical grid, reducing heat loss and cooling requirements. The robust enclosure and configurable options help ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial settings.
The drive features an IP54 enclosure, providing protection against dust and water ingress suitable for harsher production environments. The unit also emphasizes high power quality with unity power factor and low harmonics. While CE and SIL specifics aren’t listed, the IP54 rating and rugged design support reliable operation across many standard industrial installations.
Regenerative braking reduces energy waste by feeding braking energy back to the supply, lowering overall energy consumption and cooling needs. This translates to lower utility costs and potentially smaller HVAC capacity. Fewer heat-related stresses and fewer dissipative components also contribute to reduced maintenance and longer equipment life in demanding automation environments.
