ABB ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AXD50000145973
Quick Summary
The ACS880-17 regenerative drive provides compact regenerative control for crane and elevator braking operations. Too many systems waste braking energy as heat, driving higher energy costs and cooling requirements on heavy machinery. With an IP54 enclosure and unity power factor delivering ultra-low harmonic content, it performs reliably in challenging environments. Standard configurations cover common industrial automation needs, while ABB's Order-Based Engineering can add customer-specific devices for tight integration. This blend of efficiency, reliability, and configurable features supports lower total cost of ownership across plant automation goals. For procurement teams, the compact footprint and scalable options simplify panel design and future upgrades.
