ABB 3AXD50000145980 ACS880-17 Regenerative Drives - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000145980
Quick Summary
The ACS880-17 regenerative drives enable compact regenerative operation for braking-heavy applications like cranes and conveyors. For engineers and maintenance teams, the challenge is managing braking energy without overheating or wasting energy as heat. This solution emphasizes CE compliance, an IP54 enclosure for harsh environments, and unity power factor with ultra-low harmonic content to minimize electrical noise. Configurable standard configurations support quick deployment, while ABB's Order-Based Engineering services can add cabinet options or customer-specific devices. The result is reduced lifecycle costs and improved system efficiency across industrial plants.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000145980 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

FAQs
Installation requires assessing the drive’s mounting location, verifying IP54-rated enclosure suitability, and ensuring proper cable routing for power, motor, and control signals. Check nominal input supply, protective devices like line contactors, and compatibility with existing PLC/NC controls. ABB recommends following standard installation manuals and, for retrofit projects, performing a pre-commissioning check to verify regenerative energy flow and fault-free operation.
The drive regenerates braking energy back to the supply, reducing heat generation and cooling requirements. It provides unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, which improves power quality and reduces electrical stress on the facility’s electrical network. Its configurable configurations and robust enclosure design make it ideal for cyclic operations in material handling and testing environments.
Yes, the ACS880-17 regenerative drive is CE-marked, ensuring conformity with essential health, safety, and environmental requirements for European markets. The IP54 enclosure rating indicates protection against dust ingress and water splashes, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. For projects requiring additional certifications, ABB’s engineering services can assist with compliance documentation and site-specific validations.
The drive is designed for reliability with solid-state components and modular construction, reducing maintenance intervals. By recovering braking energy, it lowers energy bills and cooling loads, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. Spare parts alignment with ABB’s service network and predictable replacement cycles help minimize downtime and extend system life in demanding facilities.
Energy recovery returns braking energy to the supply, decreasing energy consumption and cooling requirements. In facilities with frequent braking events, this reduces utility costs and improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Combined with reduced thermal stress and longer motor life, customers typically see a faster payback period and lower total cost of ownership.
