Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047393 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 regeneration and energy feedback: The drive captures braking energy and returns it to the supply network, reducing energy costs and cooling loads. Business impact includes lower energy bills, improved overall efficiency, and enhanced system reliability in cyclic operations. Application: conveyors, cranes, winders, and other line-start/stop machinery where braking is frequent. Feature unity power factor and integrated low harmonic filter: This combination preserves power quality and reduces grid impact, supporting compliance with harmonic limits and avoiding transformer or breaker overloading. Application: chemical plants, mining operations, and large manufacturing lines with strict power quality requirements. Feature compact wall-mounted design with integrated active supply unit: Simplifies installation, minimizes cabinet space, and eases serviceability, while maintaining robust protection in harsh environments. Application: retrofits in existing facilities and new builds with tight footprint constraints. Feature broad compatibility within the ACS880 family: Facilitates seamless integration with ABB controls and fieldbus options, enabling scalable upgrades and centralized monitoring. Application: multi-plant deployments where standardization saves maintenance time and training costs. Feature continuous/ cyclic braking support: Delivers predictable torque control and energy recovery in both continuous and braking-heavy processes. Application: pumping stations, extruders, and material handling lines. Industry context and objectives: energy efficiency, improved motor control, and reduced total cost of ownership across oil & gas, metals, cement, and paper industries.

FAQs
Yes. The 3AXD50000047393-based ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed for 400 V LV motors up to 55 kW and 105 A. It is wall-mounted for space efficiency and supports standard electrical cabinets with proper heat dissipation. When installing, verify enclosure rating, cable routing, and compliance with local wiring codes to ensure reliable regenerative operation.
Key specs include 55 kW nominal power, 105 A current, and 400 V nominal voltage. The unit operates with regenerative braking, achieving a unity power factor and incorporating an integrated low harmonic line filter plus an active supply unit to maintain power quality, even under demanding load changes typical of cranes, conveyors, and pumps.
Regenerative energy recovery shines in cyclic or braking-heavy processes. Beneficiaries include conveyors, cranes, winders, winches, pumps, fans, extruders, and material handling lines. In these applications, energy is returned to the grid or supply, reducing energy costs and improving overall system efficiency while maintaining precise motor control.
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed with industry-standard safety features and CE considerations. For region-specific certifications (such as SIL or IP ratings), refer to the installation manual or contact ABB support to confirm local requirements and any additional conformity assessments needed for your facility.
ROI improves through energy recovery, reduced cooling needs, and a lower total cost of ownership in braking-heavy processes. Maintenance is streamlined by an integrated design with fewer external components; ABB’s platform supports remote diagnostics and standardized service routines, helping minimize downtime and technician travel in multi-site deployments.
