Part Number: 3AXD50001057466
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-17 regenerative drive is a compact energy-regenerating solution for braking-heavy applications such as cranes, elevators, and test benches. Engineers often contend with wasted braking energy and high cooling loads, making regenerative options essential for efficiency. CE marking and IP54 enclosure standards, plus unity power factor and low harmonic content, underpin reliable operation in harsh environments. Designed for industrial automation, it reduces total cost of ownership through energy recovery, easier configuration, and long service life. For system integrators, standard configurations streamline procurement, while Order-Based Engineering can add customer-specific devices in a robust cabinet. This combination supports rapid commissioning, predictable performance, and scalable automation across production lines and material handling.
