Part Number: 3AXD50000199563
Quick Summary
The ACS880-14 regenerative drive from ABB delivers efficient motor control for heavy machinery in oil, gas, and manufacturing facilities. Traditional drives waste braking energy and require extra cooling, which increases downtime and operating costs. It adheres to CE conformity and is designed to support regional approvals for SIL-rated safety architectures while delivering robust electrical performance. For OEMs and integrators, the compact bookshelf and flat variants help maximize cabinet space, while installation with ABB’s drive ecosystem accelerates commissioning. This combination of energy efficiency, ease of installation, and proven industry applicability translates into lower total cost of ownership and more reliable production.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000199563 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application The regenerative capability captures braking energy and feeds it back to the supply, reducing energy consumption and cooling loads across long cycles on conveyors, cranes, and extruders. This translates to lower utility bills and smaller HVAC requirements in packaged systems, boosting overall plant efficiency. The drive offers unity power factor operation and integrated low harmonic line filtering, improving power quality for sensitive equipment and helping facilities meet power-quality standards during high-dynamic loads on mixers and mills. The active supply unit simplifies installation, while bookshelf and flat variants with pedestal wheels enable rapid cabinet integration and easier service in confined spaces on automated line stations. ABB’s ACS880-14 family is customized for industries like oil & gas, mining, metals, and chemicals, delivering consistent performance across harsh duty cycles and varying loads. Compatibility with existing ABB controls and fieldbus interfaces reduces engineering effort and accelerates commissioning. This mitigates objections about upfront cost by enabling a faster return on investment through measurable energy savings and reliability gains. Industry-specific context shows that end users benefit from a single drive platform that supports cranes, winders, pumps, fans, and conveyors, driving standardization and simplified spare parts management.

FAQs
The ACS880-14 regenerative drive is designed for 400 V three-phase systems and offers bookshelf and flat cabinet variants with pedestal wheels. When installing, ensure adequate panel space, proper ventilation, and correct wiring of the DC bus and motor lines. It is compatible with ABB control interfaces and fieldbus options, which simplifies integration with existing PLCs and drive supervision networks.
Regenerative braking converts kinetic energy from moving loads back into the power supply, reducing net energy draw and cooling requirements. The system maintains a unity power factor and leverages low harmonic content, which lowers electrical stress on the bus and improves grid compliance. These factors combine to lower operating costs over the motor’s life cycle, especially in high-load or frequent-stop applications.
Yes. The ACS880-14 regenerative drive is explicitly targeted at diverse process industries, including oil & gas, mining, and materials handling. It supports applications like cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, pumps, and fans, delivering reliable torque control, regenerative energy recovery, and robust performance under demanding duty cycles.
The drive adheres to CE conformity for electrical safety and EMI; regional approvals may vary to align with local safety and installation standards. For SIL-rated safety architectures and other region-specific certifications, consult ABB documentation and local ABB representatives to confirm required approvals before deployment.
ROI depends on load profile, duty cycle, and energy costs. Key drivers include energy savings from regenerative braking, reduced cooling load, and improved power quality that minimize downtime and equipment wear. A typical ROI assessment considers baseline energy use, drive efficiency gains, and the cost of cabinet space or installation, with payback improving in high-dynamic systems like conveyors and cranes.
