Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145959 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 energy return translates braking energy into usable electrical energy, allowing the plant to recover operating cost and reduce thermal load. This directly improves overall efficiency in cyclic braking processes such as cranes and downhill conveyors, where energy loss once dominated cooling costs. The technology supports a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, which enhances power quality, lowers grid impact, and may reduce utility charges in sensitive facilities. Standardized configurations simplify installation, with options spanning line contactors and protective interlocks, enabling quick integration with existing motor control schemes and ABB automation ecosystems. The IP54-rated enclosure and robust chassis provide reliable operation in dirty or dusty environments, reducing maintenance cycles and downtime. For advanced needs, ABB’s Order-Based Engineering services tailor features to safety, control interlocks, and system integration, cutting risk and improving ROI.
