ABB 3AXD50000199914 ACS880-14 Regenerative Drive - Unity PF
Part Number: 3AXD50000199914
Quick Summary
The ACS880-14 regenerative drive module is ABB's compact LV AC drive that delivers precise motor control for demanding industrial applications such as cranes, winders, conveyors, and pumps. Operators commonly struggle with energy waste from braking, excessive heat, and costly cooling when using traditional drives. CE marking, robust IP-rated protection, and integrated low-harmonic line filtering are standard considerations for rugged environments, and this module is designed to meet those expectations. By combining regenerative energy recovery with a unity power factor and flexible installation, it delivers lower operating costs and easier integration with existing machines, while supporting future scalability across plant floors.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000199914 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 in the ACS880-14 captures braking energy and feeds it back into the drive system, reducing energy consumption and cooling requirements for heavy-duty loads such as cranes, winders, conveyors, pumps, and fans. This translates to measurable cost savings and improved equipment uptime in mineral processing plants and material handling facilities. The drive operates at a unity power factor and incorporates an integrated low-harmonic line filter, which minimizes electrical noise and grid impact, helping facilities meet power quality standards and avoid penalties while maintaining stable operation in high-demand cycles. The bookshelf and flat variants are designed for cabinet integration, enabling quick upgrades with minimal footprint and simplified maintenance through modular design and wheel-pedestal accessibility. Industry customization supports oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and wastewater applications, aligning with machine builders and systems integrators for rapid deployment. Compatibility with a broad range of loads—cranes, extruders, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, pumps, and fans—ensures seamless integration with existing control architectures. This approach reduces total cost of ownership by combining energy recovery, compact form factor, and robust protection in a single drive platform.

FAQs
Begin by verifying compatibility with the existing motor and control architecture. Use the bookshelf or flat variant to fit inside standard cabinets, and mount the unit on a wheeled pedestal for easy service access. Connect the drive to the motor, feed the 400 V supply, and wire the brake resistors or regenerative circuit as recommended by ABB’s installation guide. Ensure cable shields and filters are properly terminated to minimize EMI.
The module is rated at 200 kW with a current of 363 A and a supply voltage of 400 V. It operates with a unity power factor and includes an integrated low-harmonic line filter to suppress harmonics. The active supply unit supports stable operation under varying load conditions, making it suitable for high-torque start/stop profiles common in conveyors, mixers, and pumps.
Industries such as oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and water/wastewater deploy regenerative drives to recover braking energy. Primary applications include cranes, winders, conveyors, pumps, fans, mixers, and extruders. The energy-recovery feature lowers energy costs and reduces cooling loads, which is especially valuable where frequent braking occurs or where the line current has high harmonic content.
The ACS880-14 module is designed with industrial compliance considerations in mind, including CE-style conformity and protective housings suitable for rugged environments. It also features protective measures and filtering to meet common electrical noise and safety requirements in large facilities. Always confirm with ABB or your local distributor for the exact regulatory certifications applicable to your region and installation.
ROI largely derives from energy savings due to braking energy recovery and reduced cooling needs, along with potentially lower maintenance costs from a modular, service-friendly design. The unit’s integrated features minimize external components, simplify diagnostics, and support long service intervals. Regular firmware updates and periodic inspection of cabling and cooling paths are recommended to sustain peak performance.
