Part Number: 3AXD50001057442
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive enables compact regenerative braking for cranes, elevators, and downhill conveyors. It returns braking energy to the supply rather than dissipating it as heat, reducing energy costs and cooling loads. CE compliance and IP54-rated enclosures address industry standards, while ABB's engineering options extend to tailored configurations for safety and performance. Secondary benefits include improved energy efficiency, reduced cooling, and seamless integration with conveyor, crane, or packaging lines.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001057442 ABB: The ACS880-17 regenerative drives are a compact and complete regenerative drive solution, with every-thing you need for regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous braking applications. Such applications include cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyers and test benches.=20
With regenerative functionality, the braking energy of the motor is returned to the drive and distributed to the supply network so that it can be utilized by other equipment.=20
Compared to mechanical or resistor braking, where braking energy is wasted as heat, regenerative drive operation offers significant energy consumption and cooling savings.
The ACS880-17 regenerative drives achieve a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, indicating that electrical energy is being used efficiently and the drive.=20
The ACS880-17 comes with wide variety of standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors, to preventing unexpected motor starts. If the application requires more, ABB=E2=80=99s Order-Based Engineering services can add special features to the standard product, such as an additional cabinet for customer-specific devices. The robust design and enclosures up to IP54 make the ACS880-17 suitable for even very harsh environments.
