content and meet the requirements IEEE519,
IEC61000-3-12 and G5/4.
Regeneration of energy
The ACS880 offers a number of solutions for
applications where electrical braking is needed. As
standard, ACS880 drives have a flux braking feature
that provides greater deceleration by increasing
the motor flux. If this is not sufficient, the internal
brake chopper can be used together with a brake
resistor.
The most advanced solution is the ACS880
regenerative drive, which allows full, continuous
braking and can produce remarkable energy
savings.
ACS880 also supports common DC bus
configurations, where the braking energy from one
load can be utilized by other loads.
Direct Torque Control (DTC)
ABB's state of the art motor control technology
provides precise speed and torque control, with or
without an encoder, even close to zero speed. DTC
provides reliable starts and rapid reactions to load
or line changes, and ensures smooth and
continuous operation. DTC provides optimal
control, even with sine filters.
The energy optimizer feature maximizes motor
efficiency by ensuring maximum torque per
ampere, reducing the power drawn from the
supply.
Position control and synchronizing
Position control allows to meet motion systems
demands without the need of an external position
controller. The ready-made motion functions
can be easily configured by parameters.
Additional features, such as built-in synchronized
drive to drive link and possibility for encoderless
positioning, make ACS880 position control ideal
for any axis.
Drive programming
To meet your specific application needs, you can
customize your ACS880 with an extensive range of
user-definable software settings (parameters) and
adaptive programming.
This makes fine-tuning the ready-made application
control program easy. For further customization,
drive application programming based on IEC 61131
standard is available for full PLC programmability.
IEC programming uses the same programming
environment as ABB PLCs. It is also easy to
integrate the ACS880 with PLCs and HMIs.
Adaptive programming is an easy to use
dynamic programming which allows flexible
adjustments to the ACS880 software.
IEC programming
based on IEC 61131 standard for full scale PLC
programmability is available as an option.
Flexibility and ease of cabinet assembly
The ACS880 modules have all the essential features
built-in. These standard and optional features
include a choke for harmonic filtering, brake
chopper, EMC filter, communication protocol
adapter, functional safety and I/O extension
modules. The built-in design combined with UL
(NEMA) Type Open / IP20 protection significantly
simplifies engineering.
The drive’s compact size, flexible cabling options
and versatile mounting possibilities from narrow
side-by-side to flat mounting to horizontal
mounting make it an ideal fit for almost any
enclosure. The control unit with I/O and
communication connections is mounted outside
the power module.
The flange mounting variant (-04F/04FXT) with UL
(NEMA) Type 12 / IP55 heat sink makes the drive
suitable for harsh environments. High power units
with parallel connected drive modules extends the
power range with -04XT up to 1250 HP (1200 kW)
and with -04FXT up to 2500 HP (2400 kW).

6-pulse or 12-pulse variants.
Installing and transporting the modules is easy, as
they are equipped with wheels. Connecting the
modules to the motor cables inside the cabinet is
fast with the quick connectors. The modules can
also be easily pulled out from a cabinet without any
need for disconnecting the motor cables.
The inverter module comes equipped with a
removable fan pedestal, which makes motor
cabling easy. To further shorten the engineering
and assembly time several mechanical and
electrical accessories are available.

ACS880-14 frame R11 are compact and complete
drive solutions, with everything needed for
regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous
braking applications. For high power applications
ACS880-14 single drive module packages are
available.
Energy savings
With regenerative functionality, the braking energy
of the motor is returned to the drive and
distributed to the supply network so that it can be
utilized by other equipment. Compared to
mechanical or resistor braking, where braking
energy is wasted as heat, regenerative drive
operation offers significant savings in energy
consumption and cooling.
The drive reaches unity power factor. This high
power factor indicates that electrical energy is
used to its full potential.
Minimized downtime
Regenerative drives offer immunity to network
disturbances. The drive will not interrupt the
process or affect process quality in unstable supply
network conditions. The ACS880 drive’s active
supply unit is able to boost output voltage,
resulting in full motor voltage even when the supply
voltage is below nominal. Voltage boost capability
can also be utilized to overcome a voltage drop
caused by long supply or motor cables or output
filters.
Optimized cost and space
Everything needed for regenerative operation, such
as an active supply unit and low harmonic line filter
are included, and no external braking devices are
needed.
Advantages:
• Quick, easy drive installation
• Small installation footprint
• No need to add cooling to handle the heat
generated by mechanical or resistor braking
• Simplified wiring
• Less spare parts needed
The “all inside” design for frames up to R11 and
mechanical installation kits for module packages
help to cut engineering and assembly time, as well
as to reduce equipment costs and the risk of errors.
The drive’s voltage boost capability can be an
advantage in motor sizing. With a higher motor
voltage, the same power is achieved with less
current, which may allow a smaller motor to be
used.
With the ACS880 regenerative drive it is possible to
compensate for low power factors of equipment
connected to the same network. This reduces the
need for additional power factor correction
equipment, including filters and large capacitor
banks. It can also help avoid penalty charges from
electrical utilities for poor power factor.
Maximized motor performance and efficiency
The drive is able to provide full motor voltage in all
conditions. ACS880 drives can regenerate 100%
current to the line continuously.
The drive features Direct Torque Control (DTC)
as standard, making it suitable for very demanding
applications. DTC provides precise speed and
torque control for maximum motor performance
and efficiency.
ACS880-11+P940 and ACS880-14 frame R11
• Power ratings: 3 to 450 HP (2.2 to 400 kW)
• Enclosure classes: UL (NEMA) Type Open / IP20, in
flange mounting (ACS880-11) heat sink side UL
(NEMA) Type 12 / IP55
Harmonic distortions can disturb or even damage
sensitive equipment connected in the same
environment. Harmonics also cause additional
losses in the network.
The ACS880-31+P940 and ACS880-34 frame R11
are compact, complete drive modules with
harmonic mitigation built-in. For high power
solutions, the ACS880-34 single drive module
packages are available.
Clean supply network
Our ultra-low harmonic drive produces
exceptionally low harmonic content and exceeds
the requirements of harmonic specifications
including IEEE 519 and G5/4. Compared to a
conventional drive, the harmonic content is
reduced by up to 97%. The total harmonic current
distortion is typically <3% in nominal situations
with an undistorted network.
Minimized downtime
ABB’s ultra-low harmonic drive offers immunity to
network disturbances. The drive will not interrupt
the process or affect process quality in unstable
supply network conditions. The ACS880 drive's
active supply unit is able to boost the output
voltage resulting in full motor voltage even when
the supply voltage is below nominal. This ensures
reliable operation in weak networks. This voltage
boost capability can also be utilized to overcome
voltage drops caused by long supply or motor
cables
Optimized cost and space
The compact ACS880 low harmonic drive solution
has harmonic mitigation built-in. This includes an
active supply unit and low harmonic line filter.
There is no need for external filters, multi-pulse
arrangements or special transformers, resulting in
significant savings in space, time and cost.
Oversizing cables, transformers and other
distribution equipment due to harmonic current
overheating can often be ignored when using the
ACS880 low harmonic drive.
The drive’s voltage boost capability can be an
advantage in motor sizing. With a higher motor
voltage, the same power is achieved with less
current, which improves motor efficiency
and may allow a smaller motor to be used.
Maximized motor performance and efficiency
The drive is able to provide full motor voltage even
if the supply voltage fluctuates. It features Direct
Torque Control (DTC) as standard, making it
suitable for very demanding applications. DTC
provides precise speed and torque control for
maximum motor performance and motor
efficiency.

Modules with bigger frame sizes are equipped with
wheels so they can easily be moved in or out of the
cabinet for maintenance purposes. This concept
also allows pre-installation of the power cables
inside the empty cabinet.
Multidrives can be used wherever several motors
form part of a single process. With a compact
module design and high power density, the single
supply and DC bus arrangement with multiple
inverters provides many advantages:
• Savings in cabling, installation and maintenance
costs
• Reduced component count and increased
reliability
• Reduced line power and line currents. As the
energy circulates over the common DC bus, all
energy is not taken from the supply network.

Inverter units (INU)
Inverter units are DC supplied and have built-in
capacitors for smoothing the DC voltage.
The electrical connection to the common DC bus is
fuse protected. An optional switch can be selected
to disconnect the whole drive unit from the DC bus.
Diode supply units (DSU)
A diode supply unit is used in non-regenerative
drive systems to convert three-phase AC voltage to
DC voltage. Two types of diode supply unit are
available: an uncontrolled 6-pulse diode supply unit
(D6D to D8D) and a half-controlled diode supply
unit with thyristor charging (D7T and D8T). The DxT
modules can be connected parallel and are able to
charge the inverters without external components.
Simple and cost-efficient installation
The high-efficient liquid cooling removes the need
for air-conditioning in the installation rooms,
bringing the installation and operation costs down.
