ABB 3AXD50000145904 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145904
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive provides compact, complete energy recovery for braking in heavy-cycle operations such as cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. This solution addresses the common pain point of wasting braking energy as heat, turning kinetic energy back into usable power for the system and the grid. By delivering unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, it supports efficient electrical utilization and reduced cooling loads. With standardized configurations and ABB’s Order-Based Engineering options, you can tailor the drive to control cabinets, protection schemes, and field devices without extensive integration work. This translates to lower installation risk, faster commissioning, and predictable total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145904 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
