ABB ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54 Enclosure, 55 kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000158010
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive delivers efficient energy recovery for cyclic braking in cranes, elevators, centrifuges, and test benches. Many automation projects wrestle with wasted braking energy and excessive heat, which drives cooling costs and reduces overall system efficiency. IP54 enclosure protection and standard CE-compliant configurations help withstand harsh production environments while meeting safety and regulatory expectations. With a Unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, this drive minimizes electrical noise and energy waste. Beyond core braking performance, ABB offers a broad range of standardized configurations and Order-Based Engineering to tailor the drive to customer needs, shortening commissioning time and accelerating ROI. Its compact size and robust enclosure simplify installation in demanding environments, reducing the need for custom cabinets.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158010 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
