FAQs
The ACS880-17 regenerative drive is ideal for cyclic and continuous braking in industrial settings such as cranes, elevators, centrifuges, downhill conveyors, and test benches. It recovers braking energy back to the power network, reduces cooling loads, and maintains stable motor operation thanks to a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content.
Regenerative braking returns energy that would otherwise be dissipated as heat back to the supply, lowering cooling requirements and energy costs. The drive’s unity power factor and low harmonics further optimize electrical efficiency and reduce grid impact, supporting longer equipment life and lower operating expenses.
An IP54-rated enclosure offers protection against dust and water ingress, allowing the drive to operate reliably in harsh or outdoor environments. This reduces the need for additional protective cabinets, simplifies mounting, and decreases installation time and cost while improving equipment longevity.
Yes. The ACS880-17 supports standard configurations and can be extended with ABB Order-Based Engineering to add customer-specific devices or features. This facilitates seamless integration with existing control architectures and minimizes project lead times by aligning the drive with your unique safety and control requirements.
Energy recovery reduces grid energy consumption and cooling costs, accelerating payback in applications with frequent braking. The robust IP54 design and compact form factor lower maintenance intervals and spare-part needs, while simplified integration reduces commissioning time and lowers total cost of ownership.
