The ABB 3AXD50000145942 is an ACS880-17-1450A-7 regenerative drive rated for 1400 kW normal-use output and 1450 A continuous current. It runs on a 525...690 V three-phase supply at 48...63 Hz and comes in a 3xR8i+3xR8i frame size with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure and IP22 protection. This is a regenerative drive, meaning it can return braking energy to the line instead of burning it as heat in a resistor. That makes it exempt from the EU ecodesign efficiency requirements (Regulation EU/2019/1781, §2.3.c) — the standard efficiency tables don't apply here.
Light-overload use (e.g., pumps, fans) sits at 1392 A (1300 kW). UL listings mirror these: 1500 HP normal, 1100 HP heavy-duty, 1500 HP light-overload. Apparent power output is 1733 kVA, which gives you the transformer sizing ballpark. Ambient temperature is capped at 40 °C, and altitude is rated to 1000 m without derating — above that you'll need to reduce current or add cooling.
I/O and communications
The drive includes 4 analog inputs, 4 analog outputs, 14 digital inputs, and 10 digital outputs. Communication is CAN-based; there are no onboard industrial Ethernet ports (0 hardware interfaces for that). If you need Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, or Modbus TCP, you'll add an option module.
Physical and environmental
Sound level is 78 dB(A) — expect fan noise in a drive this size. Operating humidity range is 5...95% non-condensing. The control unit is included, and the drive ships with two BR2032 lithium coin cells (3 V, 200 mAh each) for backup.
