Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000199938 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.

Application: Cranes, conveyors, winches, and pumps where frequent braking occurs. Feature: Unity power factor and integrated low harmonic filter. Business Impact: Improves power quality, reduces utility penalties, and simplifies electrical design. Application: Heavy industry plants with demanding harmonic limits and long cable runs. Feature: Active supply unit and built-in control options. Business Impact: Streamlines installation, minimizes external components, and accelerates deployment. Application: New builds and retrofit projects in machine halls and automation cabinets. Feature: Compact bookshelf and flat variants for cabinet installation. Business Impact: Easier on-site installation, reduced footprint, and simplified maintenance. Application: OEM machine builders integrating into standardized cabinets. Feature: Wide application coverage (cranes, extruders, winders, mixers, etc.). Business Impact: Increases equipment versatility and ROI across multiple lines. Application: Food and beverage, automotive, pulp and paper, water/wastewater, mining, and more. Addressing objections: Regenerative operation may seem complex, but the integrated filter and unity PF design minimize field tuning. Compatibility: Designed to fit within standard ABB ACS880 ecosystems, with pedestal-on-wheels options for quick cabinet insertion. Industry context: Favored by systems integrators for scalable, reliable energy recovery and predictable maintenance needs.

FAQs
The module is designed for LV AC industrial systems and supports cabinet installations using bookshelf or flat variants. It integrates with the ACS880-14 family, enabling straightforward retrofits in machine rooms and control cabinets while maintaining standard control interfaces and wiring practices used in automation projects.
Regenerative braking captures kinetic energy during deceleration and feeds it back to the supply or a DC bus, reducing heat in braking resistors and lowering cooling requirements. The solution delivers a unity power factor and uses an integrated low harmonic filter to limit distortions, improving overall plant power quality and reducing utility penalties.
Yes. The ACS880-14 regenerative module is designed for diverse applications, including cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, pumps, fans, and more. Its energy-recovery capability and compact cabinet-ready form factor make it particularly attractive for OEMs and system integrators working in material handling and process automation.
The data specifies UL Pld for the drive’s rating (350 Hp) and 450 A at 480 V for the ACS880-14-460A-5 configuration. While UL certification is explicitly listed, users should verify CE and IP ratings with the regional distributor to confirm full market compliance for their installation.
ROI comes from energy savings due to braking energy recovery, reduced cooling requirements, and improved power quality with unity PF and low harmonics. Additionally, faster cabinet installation and fewer external components lower installation and maintenance costs, delivering a predictable payback period for multi-line automation projects.
