Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145874 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 energy recovery converts kinetic energy back into usable electrical energy, delivering tangible energy savings and lower cooling loads in cyclic braking applications such as cranes, elevators, or downhill conveyors. This capability reduces plant heat generation and cooling requirements, improving overall system efficiency and extending component life. Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content support reliable power distribution, reduce electrical stress on upstream equipment, and help meet power quality targets in demanding facilities. The drive is a compact, complete solution with a wide range of standardized configurations, enabling fast deployment and consistent performance across multiple lines while minimizing integration risk. ABB’s Order-Based Engineering options add customer-specific devices or additional cabinets, allowing protection, interlocks, and control features to align with exact plant safety and process requirements. IP54 protection ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, supporting longer intervals between maintenance and reducing downtime. Compatibility with other ABB drives and motors simplifies installation, serviceability, and spare-part alignment across your automation stack. These factors collectively drive lower total cost of ownership, improved uptime, and a smoother path to scalable modernization in industrial settings.
