FAQs
Installing the ACS880-17 requires planning for cabinet space with its IP54-rated enclosure, ensuring adequate ventilation and cooling, and proper alignment with existing control cabinets. Plan for robust electrical connections, appropriate shielding, and a clear route for regenerative energy back to the mains. ABB guidelines support straightforward mounting, wiring, and safe commissioning, reducing on-site risk and installation time.
Regenerative braking returns energy to the supply network, improving overall energy efficiency and reducing cooling loads. With unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic content, electrical losses are minimized and grid impact is lowered. This translates to lower utility costs, reduced heat generation in drives and feeders, and a more reliable power balance for heavy industrial applications.
Yes. The IP54-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water spray, making it suitable for outdoor or dirty environments. The compact, integrated design simplifies mounting near the machine, and ABB offers configurable configurations to match protection needs, control interfaces, and motor braking requirements for cranes, conveyors, and other cyclic-load equipment.
The ACS880-17 is CE-compliant and IP54-protected, meeting common European regulatory and environmental protection standards. ABB also offers engineering services, including Order-Based Engineering, to add customer-specific features or cabinet customizations, helping ensure regulatory alignment and project-specific compliance during installation.
ROI is driven by energy savings from regenerative braking, reduced cooling requirements, and improved power quality. By recovering braking energy and minimizing losses, facilities can lower utility costs and extend motor life. Payback periods vary by application and duty cycle, but cyclic braking processes such as cranes and downhill conveyors often show compelling, measurable returns within months.
