ABB 3AXD50000042577 ACS880-17-0293A-3 ACS880 ABB Drive

Description

The ACS880-17-0293A-3 marks the entry into serious industrial horsepower. With 293 A continuous and a peak overload envelope of 380 A for one minute, this model targets processes where inertia is measured in tonnes, yet energy must flow both ways. Its active front end uses latest-generation SiC diodes to cut switching losses, shrinking heatsink size by 18 % compared to the previous platform. The drive communicates natively over Ethernet with OPC UA, MQTT and REST, so plant historians receive torque, speed and energy data in real time without protocol converters. An advanced thermal model dynamically adjusts current limits based on coolant temperature, altitude and even solar radiation on outdoor enclosures.

Features

293 A continuous, 380 A overload for 1 min, 440 A for 5 s.

SiC-based AFE reduces heat load and yields 99 % regenerative efficiency.

Cyber-security certificate IEC 62443-4-1; role-based user management and signed firmware.

Integrated dual-port Ethernet switch for ring topologies (MRP) <20 ms recovery.

Safe brake control with dual relays and wear monitoring algorithm.

SD card slot for parameter cloning, firmware rollback and black-box diagnostics.

Applications

Perfect for large high-speed centrifuges in sugar refineries, ship-to-shore container cranes and downhill conveyors in mining where regenerated energy can exceed 1 MW peaks. The cyber-security features also make it a preferred choice for critical water-treatment SCADA networks.
