ABB 3AXD50000157990 ACS880-17 regenerative drive - IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000158003
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact, regenerative drive solution for braking-heavy applications such as cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors. Operators often face wasted braking energy and excessive cooling when braking energy is dissipated as heat, driving up energy costs and reducing system efficiency. The design is CE compliant and housed to IP54 for reliable operation in harsh environments. With a 90 kW capacity and a 169 A input, it integrates easily with ABB configurations, and ABB's Order-Based Engineering services can add customer-specific devices to further shorten installation time and reduce total cost of ownership. This combination supports energy-efficient automation and effective downtime management.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158003 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 recovery is a core feature of the ACS880-17. This benefits the business by converting braking energy back to the DC bus, reducing energy consumption and cooling demands during braking. In cyclic braking for cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors, the effect is immediate and measurable. High electrical quality matters in industrial plants. The drive delivers unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, helping you meet power quality standards and avoid derating of upstream equipment. This improves overall system performance during dynamic braking events. Rugged and adaptable enclosure. IP54 protection and a compact footprint make the drive suitable for harsh environments, including dusty or humid facilities. ABB also offers wide standardized configurations and Order-Based Engineering to tailor features such as line contactors or anti-start protections to your application. Ease of installation and integration. The 90 kW, 169 A rating aligns with many existing motor specifications, enabling smoother retrofit projects. The combination of ready-to-run configurations and engineering services shortens site commissioning, lowers installation risk, and reduces total cost of ownership. Operational efficiency and lifecycle value. By capturing braking energy and reducing heat losses, operators realize faster payback and lower operational costs in material handling and process lines.
