ABB ACS880-14-174A-7 regenerative drive module, a 160 kW three phase AC drive designed for industrial motor control, energy recovery and regenerative braking applications.
The ABB ACS880-14-174A-7 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive module designed for demanding industrial applications requiring efficient motor control and energy recovery. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, this regenerative drive captures braking energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply network, helping reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
Designed specifically for machine builders, system integrators and industrial automation engineers, the ACS880-14 series combines ABB's renowned motor control technology with active front-end regeneration. This enables highly efficient operation while reducing harmonic distortion and eliminating the need for external braking resistors in many applications.
With a rated output power of 160 kW, a rated output current of 174 A and a three-phase 525-690 V AC supply, the ACS880-14-174A-7 is ideal for cranes, conveyors, test benches, centrifuges, winches, mixers and other applications involving frequent braking and regenerative operation.
Unlike conventional drives that dissipate braking energy as heat, the ABB ACS880-14 regenerative drive module feeds recovered energy back into the electrical supply network. This significantly improves overall system efficiency while reducing cooling requirements and lowering operating costs.
The ACS880-14 series is widely used in industries such as mining, metals, marine, pulp and paper, water treatment, power generation and material handling. Its regenerative operation and low harmonic performance make it particularly suitable for applications with frequent braking cycles and high energy demands.
