Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145898 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 returns energy to the power network, reducing energy costs and cooling demands. In cyclic braking scenarios such as cranes and downhill conveyors, energy recovery translates to lower utility bills and improved system reliability. The drive’s unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content improve overall power quality, helping protect motors and switchgear while simplifying electrical compliance. Standard configurations cover common machine needs, and ABB's Order‑Based Engineering enables a cabinet with customer‑specific devices for seamless integration in existing lines. The rugged IP54 enclosure supports operation in dirty or outdoor environments, reducing installation restrictions and maintenance downtime. Built‑in protection features, including line contactor options and safeguards against unexpected motor starts, simplify commissioning and improve safety in heavy equipment applications. With easy interface to ABB drives family and fieldbus options, installation is faster and more predictable, delivering measurable uptime and procurement confidence.
