ACS880-14-505A-3 ABB 250kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive

Why Choose the ABB ACS880-14-505A-3 Regenerative Drive Module?

The ABB ACS880-14-505A-3 (Product ID 3AXD50000042308) is a high-performance regenerative industrial AC variable frequency drive module designed for demanding motor control applications. Part of the ABB ACS880 industrial drive platform, this module enables precise speed and torque control for large three-phase motors used in heavy industrial processes.

The ACS880 regenerative drive family incorporates an active supply unit that returns braking energy back to the power network instead of dissipating it as heat. This improves system energy efficiency, reduces cooling requirements and minimises harmonic distortion within the electrical installation.

With a rated output power of 250 kW, nominal output current of 505 A and a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply, the ACS880-14-505A-3 is designed for cabinet integration in large industrial drive systems controlling conveyors, pumps, compressors, winches and heavy process equipment.

Energy-Efficient Regenerative Drive Technology

Regenerative variable frequency drives capture energy generated during motor braking and return it to the electrical network. This significantly improves overall energy efficiency compared with traditional braking resistor systems where energy is dissipated as heat.

The ACS880-14 regenerative module includes an active supply unit and low harmonic filtering to maintain high power quality while achieving near-unity power factor. This reduces electrical losses, improves system stability and lowers operating costs in large industrial installations.

Typical Applications

• Industrial cranes and hoisting systems.
• Extruders and heavy process machinery.
• Conveyors and material handling equipment.
• Large pumps and compressors.
• Mining, metals and cement production.
• Energy-efficient industrial automation systems.
