ACS880-14-505A-3 ABB 250kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive
ABB ACS880-14-505A-3 regenerative single drive module, a 250 kW three phase AC variable frequency drive designed for industrial motor control, braking energy recovery and demanding automation applications.
Why Choose the ABB ACS880-14-505A-3 Regenerative Drive Module?
The ABB ACS880-14-505A-3 (Part Number 3AXD50000042308) is a high-performance industrial regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) module designed for demanding motor control applications. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it provides precise speed and torque control while enabling regenerative energy recovery in applications with frequent braking or overhauling loads.
This drive module is engineered for industries requiring robust performance, excellent process control and efficient energy management. Regenerative drive technology allows braking energy from the motor to be returned to the supply network instead of being wasted as heat, helping improve overall system efficiency and reduce the need for external braking resistors.
With a rated output power of 250 kW and a nominal output current of 505 A, the ACS880-14-505A-3 is suitable for large industrial motors used in cranes, hoists, test benches, centrifuges, conveyors and heavy process machinery. The module format is designed for cabinet building and integration into industrial control systems.
