ABB 3AXD50000045382 Drive - ACS880-11 Regenerative
Part Number: 3AXD50000045382
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000045382 Drive enables regenerative braking for industrial machinery, delivering energy recovery and precise, reliable control in demanding processes. In many facilities, braking energy is wasted as heat, driving cooling loads and operating costs; this drive returns that energy to the supply network for immediate reuse. Typical deployments seek CE conformity, UL/CSA safety certifications, and IP-rated enclosures to withstand harsh environments. As a compact regenerative solution with an active supply unit and integrated low-harmonic line filter, it supports energy efficiency and stable automation across applications such as conveyors, pumps, mixers, and winches. This combination reduces total cost of ownership by lowering energy consumption and cooling requirements while delivering a unity power factor.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000045382 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.
Regenerative braking with an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic filter converts kinetic energy back into available electrical energy rather than wasting it as heat. Business impact: lower energy consumption, smaller cooling requirements, and a cleaner power profile that helps minimize utility penalties. Application fit: ideal for cyclic operations such as conveyors, cranes, winches, pumps, and fans in industries including oil and gas, mining, metals, and chemicals. With broad control capabilities, a single ACS880-11-based drive can handle cranes, winders, conveyors, mixers, pumps, and fans, reducing the need for multiple drive platforms. The result is simplified procurement, smaller spare-parts stock, and faster commissioning. This versatility is especially valuable in process industries where machines alternate between start-stop, braking, and steady running phases.Compact, wall-mounted architecture saves cabinet space and facilitates retrofits. The built-in low harmonic filter reduces electrical noise, easing EMC compliance and enabling closer panel layouts. Installation is straightforward in new builds or upgrades, with clear wiring to 400 V three-phase networks and compatible fieldbus interfaces for centralized control.Energy and power quality benefits: unity power factor minimizes reactive power charges and stabilizes the plant's electrical grid. Regenerative operation reduces cooling requirements and extends drive life by managing braking energy efficiently. These features translate to measurable operating expense reductions and faster returns on automation investments in material handling, packaging lines, and process plants.Industry readiness: ABB ACS880-11 regenerative drives are designed for harsh environments across oil and gas, mining, metals, cement, and water treatment. They support CE conformity and UL/CSA safety certifications with IP-rated enclosure options to fit installation needs. Customer teams benefit from predictable performance, reduced downtime, and easier compliance documentation.

FAQs
Begin with a clean, ventilated mounting location and a suitable wall- or cabinet-mounted enclosure. Connect the three-phase 400 V supply to L1/L2/L3, tie protective earth to the chassis, and wire motor leads to the output terminals per the ACS880-11 installation guide. Use the integrated filter and active supply unit as specified, and configure fieldbus interfaces for centralized control. Follow EMC guidelines and verify cable routing to minimize interference.
Key specifications include a 45 kW power rating, 87 A nominal current, and 400 V supply. The drive provides regenerative braking with unity power factor and an integrated low harmonic filter, aiding energy efficiency and power quality. It supports a range of industrial loads such as conveyors, pumps, and cranes, and offers robust control across 50/60 Hz networks with reliable braking energy management.
Applications with frequent stopping and braking—cranes, winches, conveyors, pumps, and fans—benefit most, because braking energy is returned to the supply network rather than wasted as heat. Industries like oil and gas, mining, metals, and chemicals gain energy savings, reduced cooling needs, and improved grid stability, enabling more efficient, continuous operation in harsh environments.
Ensure CE conformity for European installations and UL/CSA safety certifications for North American sites, as applicable to the application and enclosure. Consider IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments and EMC/EMI compliance in line with plant standards. For hazardous areas, verify if additional approvals or certifications are required and plan for appropriate safety interlocks and control integration.
Expected ROI stems from energy recovery during braking, reduced cooling load, and improved power quality. Unity power factor lowers reactive power charges, while fewer drives and simplified control reduce maintenance and spare parts. In typical conveyor or pump setups, payback can be achieved through energy savings and increased process uptime, with faster commissioning and predictable operation contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
