ABB ACS880-17 Regenerative Drive - IP54 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AXD50000158027
Quick Summary
ACS880-17 regenerative drive from ABB delivers compact regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, and other heavy machinery. Traditional braking methods waste energy as heat and increase cooling loads, driving up operating costs. This drive offers CE conformity and an IP54-rated enclosure, with unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content to protect electrical networks. By leveraging standard configurations and ABB's Order-Based Engineering services, the system combines reliability with quick deployment, enabling predictable ROI and smooth integration into existing production lines. For engineers and procurement teams, it translates to faster project delivery, reduced risk, and a clearer path to energy efficiency across dynamic load profiles.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158027 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 braking is a core feature that returns energy to the supply network, reducing overall energy consumption and cooling requirements. This leads to lower operating costs in cyclic braking scenarios such as cranes and downhill conveyors, while boosting plant energy efficiency. The drive maintains unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, minimizing grid disturbances and simplifying compliance with electrical standards, which reduces electrical engineering effort during integration with motor control centers. The IP54 enclosure and rugged construction support harsh environments, enabling outdoor installations and dusty facilities without extra protective infrastructure, and standard options streamline installation while ABB’s engineering services can add customer-specific devices in additional cabinets. Standard configurations, including line contactors and anti-start safeguards, shorten setup time and spare parts planning, while Order-Based Engineering extensions provide feature flexibility without extending delivery schedules. These capabilities deliver reliable performance, simplified maintenance, and a clear ROI through energy recovery and reduced cooling load across demanding applications.

FAQs
When installing the ACS880-17, ensure the cabinet has adequate ventilation and clearance for the 75 kW drive and 124 A input. The IP54 rating allows outdoor or dusty environments, but plan for protection against direct water exposure in high-flow areas. Use standard ABB line contactors and anti-start features to simplify safety interlocks, and coordinate with control panels to maintain proper shielding and EMI compliance.
Key specifications include a 75 kW power rating and 124 A input current, with a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content. These features support efficient energy use and high power quality, reducing strain on the electrical network. The device is designed for regenerative braking, returning energy to the supply and enabling improved overall system efficiency in cyclic braking applications.
Yes. The regenerative braking capability is well-suited for cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. The IP54 enclosure supports harsh environments, and the Unity PF with low harmonics helps meet plant-wide power quality targets. ABB also offers configurable options via Order-Based Engineering to tailor the drive to specific crane or conveyor control schemes.
The ACS880-17 is CE-conformant and designed for industrial use with an IP54 enclosure, addressing environmental protection needs. While formal certifications beyond CE and enclosure rating may depend on your region, the drive’s electrical performance, power factor, and harmonic characteristics are aligned with common industrial standards to ease integration into most plant electrical systems.
Energy recovery from braking reduces energy consumption and cooling requirements, translating to lower utility costs. The robust IP54 design minimizes unplanned downtime in harsh environments, while standard configurations and ABB's engineering services shorten procurement and installation timelines. Over time, reduced maintenance needs and predictable performance across cranes, conveyors, and test benches drive a favorable ROI.
