Part Number: 3AXD50000199556
Quick Summary
Regenerative drive module ACS880-14 delivers energy recovery for heavy industry applications such as conveyors, cranes, and material handling. Facilities often struggle with wasted braking energy, oversized cooling requirements, and variable power quality that complicates electrical design and maintenance planning. CE-compliant and UL-listed configurations are supported, with SIL safety considerations and enclosure options that help meet regulatory requirements while protecting critical components. The system is designed for machine builders and system integrators, offering compact footprints and straightforward cabinet integration. By reducing startup energy use, improving power factor, and lowering cooling needs, these drives deliver measurable cost savings and shorter payback cycles. This combination of reliability and efficiency is well aligned with industrial automation and digitalization initiatives.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000199556 ABB: The ACS880-14 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps and fans.
The compact ACS880-14 regenerative drive module captures and utilizes braking energy which results in cost savings for the user. With mechanical or resistor braking energy is wasted as heat and additional cooling is often required, whereas regenerative drive operation offers significant savings in energy consumption and cooling. The drive reaches a unity power factor, meaning that electrical energy is used to its full potential. Equipped with an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, the regenerative drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content. These modules are specifically designed for machine builders and systems integrators. Bookshelf and flat variants can easily be pushed inside the cabinet using a pedestal on wheels.

FAQs
Installation starts with assessing the cabinet space and selecting the Bookshelf or flat variant for ease of fit. The ACS880-14 module integrates with standard LV AC panels and requires proper enclosure sealing for industrial environments. Connect the motor, power, and control wiring following ABB’s installation guide, verify wiring for 480–500 V supply, and configure the drive parameters for the conveyor load profile. Benefits include faster commissioning, reduced wiring complexity, and predictable performance with robust calibration tools.
Key performance specs include a nominal power rating of 132 kW, current up to 240 A, and operating voltage of 500 V with UL-listed 200 Hp equivalent performance. The drive features regenerative energy recovery and a unity power factor, along with an integrated low harmonic line filter to minimize harmonic distortion. These characteristics support demanding loads such as cranes, conveyors, pumps, and extruders while maintaining consistent torque and control accuracy.
Yes, the ACS880-14 regenerative drive module is designed for diverse heavy-duty applications, including cranes, mixers, winches, winders, and pumps commonly found in metal and mining operations. Its regenerative capability returns braking energy to the bus, reducing energy waste. The drive’s configurable torque and speed profiles handle the dynamic demands of these loads, while its compact form factor simplifies installation within machine enclosures typical of extreme industrial environments.
Verify CE compliance and UL listing to meet regulatory and safety requirements in many regions. For safety-critical installations, assess SIL readiness and ensure enclosure protection matches your installation environment (IP ratings depending on cabinet choice). Confirm compatibility with your plant’s electrical standards and your risk assessment, as well as available field support for maintenance and updates from ABB or approved partners.
The regenerative drive module offers measurable ROI through energy savings from braking energy recovery, reduced cooling loads due to improved power factor, and potential downsizing of electrical infrastructure. Maintenance is streamlined by integrated components and a compact design, which reduces spare-part complexity. In practice, operators typically see shorter payback periods in facilities with frequent braking events and high-duty-cycle loads such as conveyors and cranes.
