The system delivers a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, helping you meet demanding electrical standards. With ABB’s configurable options and Order-Based Engineering, you gain tailored performance, faster commissioning, and lower total cost of ownership for your industrial automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145911 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 is returned to the supply network, reducing heat and cooling loads while cutting energy costs in cyclic braking scenarios such as cranes and downhill conveyors. This improves overall plant efficiency and supports equipment uptime by reducing thermal stress on drive circuits and motors. The drive delivers a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, simplifying integration with existing power systems and lowering the need for extensive filtration or corrective measures. Standard configurations cover common applications from line contactors to preventing unintended motor starts, accelerating project timelines and reducing integration risk. ABB Order-Based Engineering offers customer-specific features and additional cabinets when required, enabling rapid adaptation to unique layouts or safety requirements. The rugged IP54 enclosure and robust design are built for harsh environments, delivering dependable operation in busy industrial settings while minimizing maintenance intervals. Compatibility with a wide range of motors and drive configurations helps reduce retrofits and supports scalable automation deployments across facilities.

FAQs
Plan for standard configurations that typically include line contactors and protections against unexpected motor starts. The drive supports ABB's Order-Based Engineering for customer-specific cabinets, enabling tailored protection and device integration. Ensure proper cooling and space for the IP54 enclosure, and review electrical diagrams to match the plant's protective relays and switchgear.
Regenerative braking returns energy to the power network rather than dissipating it as heat, reducing energy consumption and cooling requirements. The drive also maintains a unity power factor and exhibits ultra-low harmonic content, which minimizes electrical disturbances and lowers ancillary equipment costs, improving overall system efficiency in heavy braking applications.
