Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000199570 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.
Regenerative energy recovery is a core feature that captures braking energy and returns it to the power bus, reducing energy consumption and cooling requirements. For manufacturers, this translates to lower operating costs and simpler plant cooling design. In practice, this supports heavy-load conveyors, cranes, winders, and extruders where frequent braking occurs. Unity power factor and an integrated low-harmonic line filter improve electrical efficiency and reduce utility penalties and EMI concerns, simplifying electrical design for new panels and retrofits in metal processing lines and packaging equipment. The active supply unit delivers stable bus performance with fast dynamic response, compatible with Pn 160 kW, 260 A, 500 V ratings and UL Pld 200 Hp at 480 V, while maintaining robust protection and ease of integration for system builders. Cabinet integration is simplified by bookshelf and flat variants plus pedestal-on-wheels, enabling space-efficient retrofits and rapid commissioning in constrained control rooms. Designed for machine builders and system integrators, the ACS880-14 supports cranes, conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers and other demanding loads across oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, water and automotive sectors, delivering consistent performance with reduced maintenance and spare parts.

FAQs
For installation, ensure cabinet space to accommodate the bookshelf or flat variant and plan for a pedestal-on-wheels option to ease servicing. Verify input voltage compatibility (500 V nominal; UL spec mentions 480 V for the UL Pld 200 Hp rating) and allow space for heat dissipation. Wire the active supply unit and integrated low-harmonic filter per ABB installation guidelines, and provide proper isolation and protection devices for safe commissioning.
The drive captures braking energy and returns it to the DC bus, achieving energy recovery that lowers overall consumption and reduces cooling requirements. A unity power factor minimizes reactive power draw, while the built‑in low-harmonic line filter improves power quality. Together, these features translate to lower utility costs, simpler electrical design, and more reliable operation in demanding production lines.
Yes. The ACS880-14 regenerative drive module is well-suited for crane, conveyor, winders, pumps and fans applications. Its regenerative capability helps manage heavy braking events typical in material handling, while the compact cabinet‑friendly form factor and quick-assembly variants simplify integration on machines and lines, reducing commissioning time and improving uptime in material handling environments.
The ACS880-14 variant is UL-listed for safety, with EMI performance supported by the integrated low-harmonic line filter. While European compliance is commonly expected, organizations should verify local CE-related certifications for their installation site. The unit’s design also supports reliable operation in demanding industries such as oil & gas, mining, metals, and chemicals through robust protection and quality engineering.
ROI is driven by energy recovery from regenerative braking, which reduces annual energy consumption and cooling load. The module’s unity power factor improves electrical efficiency and can lower utility penalties. Cabinet-friendly installation with bookshelf/flat variants reduces space and retrofit time, cutting installation costs. Lower heat rejection and fewer spare parts further decrease maintenance spend and extend equipment uptime.
