Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047398 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.
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive integrates regenerative braking to return energy to the supply, lowering overall energy consumption. This translates into reduced cooling needs and lower utility charges on conveyors, cranes, and mixed production lines. The drive features an integrated low harmonic line filter that minimizes voltage distortion and improves power factor in dynamic loads. For plants with stringent electrical standards, this reduces equipment stress, extends motor life, and eases regulatory compliance. The active supply unit and protection features simplify installation, enabling faster commissioning and safer startup in harsh environments. Wall-mounted packaging and compact footprint save panel space, supporting retrofits and new installations in space-constrained equipment rooms. Rated at IEC 110 kW with 180 A at 500 V, the drive handles demanding loads with high efficiency. This makes it ideal for heavy conveyors, pumps, fans, and mixers in process industries. The device is designed for diverse industries, including oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, and cement, enabling broad applicability. Customers report lower total cost of ownership due to reduced cooling, lower energy import, and extended drive life. Compatibility with ABB's ACS880 ecosystem supports seamless integration with existing controllers, safety units, and fieldbus networks. Global spares availability and ABB service networks help minimize downtime during upgrades or preventive maintenance. ABB's aftersales support ensures rapid access to firmware updates and spare parts. Diverse control options include standard PLC interfaces, enabling easy integration with existing automation architectures. The regenerative function also supports continuous braking workflows or cyclic braking with predictable energy returns. Investing in ACS880-11 reduces maintenance complexity while delivering reliable performance across challenging industrial environments. The result is lower operating costs, faster project timelines, and improved competitiveness in markets with growing energy efficiency requirements. By coordinating with recovery strategies, the drive reduces peak demand and helps avoid utility penalties. Operators gain faster payback through improved system reliability and smoother start/stop sequences. The drive supports remote monitoring and diagnostic data to support predictive maintenance. With ABB's global support, engineers can access firmware updates and spare parts quickly.
