ABB 3AXD50000043928 LV AC Regenerative Drive - 11 kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000043928
Quick Summary
ACS880-11 regenerative drive provides efficient regenerative braking for heavy-duty conveyors and pumps in industrial plants. Traditional drives dissipate braking energy as heat, driving up cooling needs and operating costs. In practice, you’ll benefit from CE compliance for Europe, SIL-ready safety integration, and appropriate IP protection for challenging environments. This compact, wall-mounted solution delivers unity power factor, integrated low harmonic filtering, and regenerative energy return, improving energy efficiency and reducing cooling loads. For engineers and procurement teams, it translates to lower lifecycle costs and easier integration with existing industrial networks.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000043928 ABB: The ACS880-11 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps and fans. The ACS880-11 is a compact and complete regenerative drive solution with everything you need for regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous braking applications.
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. With mechanical or resistor braking energy is wasted as heat and additional cooling is often required, whereas regenerative drive operation offers significant savings in energy consumption and cooling. The drive reaches a unity power factor, meaning that electrical energy is used to its full potential. Equipped with an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, the regenerative drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content.
Feature: Regenerative braking energy is returned to the power network rather than wasted as heat. Business Impact: Reduces overall energy consumption, lowers cooling requirements, and improves grid interaction. Application: Ideal for cranes, conveyors, winches, and other equipment with frequent braking. Feature: Unity power factor and low harmonic content. Business Impact: Improves power quality, supports compliance with grid codes, and reduces utility penalties. Application: Critical in batching plants, material handling lines, and pumps in harsh environments. Feature: Integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter. Business Impact: Simplifies installation, minimizes external components, and shortens commissioning time. Application: Wall-mounted installs in compact spaces across oil & gas, mining, and processing facilities. Feature: Compact, wall-mounted design. Business Impact: Saves floor space, eases retrofit projects, and enables seamless integration into existing electrical rooms. Application: Modernization projects in automotive, food & beverage, and pulp & paper mills. Feature: Broad industry readiness (oil & gas, mining, cement, water treatment, etc.). Business Impact: Reduces total cost of ownership by enabling one drive to cover multiple cyclic or continuous braking applications. Application: Material handling, crushers, mixers, and fans in heavy industry.

FAQs
What you need to plan starts with ensuring a compliant 400 V supply and suitable enclosure space for a compact LV AC regenerative drive. Verify mounting clearance for heat dissipation, integrate the drive with your control system, and account for cable routing to minimize EMI. The unit’s wall-mount design simplifies retrofits in tight equipment rooms and reduces footprint versus floor-standing drives.
Key specs include 11 kW output, 25 A current, and 400 V operational voltage, with regenerative braking and unity power factor to optimize energy use. It is well-suited for conveyors, pumps, cranes, winches, and fans where frequent braking occurs or where energy recovery can reduce network loading and cooling needs.
Yes. The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed for cyclic or continuous braking in heavy industry. Its regenerative energy return supports energy efficiency in cranes, winches, conveyors, and similar equipment, while its compact, wall-mounted form helps in retrofit projects or space-constrained installations.
In practice, users expect CE compliance for European markets, safety integration options compatible with SIL-rated systems, and appropriate enclosure protection for challenging environments. These certifications enable safer operation, easier regulatory alignment, and smoother integration with existing safety and control architectures.
Regenerative operation reduces wasted braking energy, lowers cooling requirements, and improves grid efficiency, which translates to lower energy bills and reduced equipment cooling costs over the lifecycle. When applied to applications with frequent braking—such as conveyors and material handling—ROI typically improves as uptime remains high and energy costs decline.
