In practice, braking energy is often wasted as heat in traditional drives, driving higher cooling costs and reducing overall efficiency. This family aligns with industry standards, commonly offering CE compliance and IP-rated enclosure options to simplify global deployment across harsh environments. With a unity power factor, integrated low harmonic filter, and a compact wall-mount design, the solution supports energy-efficient automation while enabling reliable, scalable performance in demanding applications across oil & gas, mining, and metals sectors.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047493 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 energy recovery returns braking energy to the power network, reducing energy consumption and cooling loads in cyclic braking applications. Business impact includes lower operating costs and improved energy balance for large conveyors and hoists. This capability is ideal for cranes, winders, pumps, and fans in heavy industries where frequent braking occurs. The drive’s unity power factor and integrated low harmonic line filter help maintain grid stability and easier compliance with electrical standards, supporting long-term reliability in plant networks. Application-focused benefits include smoother operation in material handling lines and reduced harmonic distortion in modern factories, enabling easier integration with energy-management systems and predictive maintenance programs.

FAQs
Begin with confirming the 400 V supply, 17 A current rating, and 7.5 kW power capacity to ensure the drive matches the motor load. Mount the unit on a suitable wall surface, connect input power and control signals per the ACS880-11 wiring scheme, and integrate the built‑in active supply unit and low harmonic filter. Commission using ABB-provided software tools, validate protection settings, and test regenerative braking under representative load profiles to confirm reliable operation.
Key specs include a 7.5 kW power rating, 400 V input, and 17 A current. The drive provides regenerative braking by returning energy to the supply network, achieving a unity power factor, and utilizing an integrated low harmonic filter to minimize electrical noise. It supports control of cranes, conveyors, pumps, and fans, delivering smooth motor operation with compact, wall-mounted installation suitable for retrofit projects.
Yes. The regenerative operation is well-suited for high-dynamic load cycles typical in cranes, winches, and conveyors used in mining and metals industries. By reclaiming braking energy, it reduces energy costs and thermal load on cooling systems, while the compact form factor aids installation in constrained facilities. The drive’s robustness and integrated features support reliable performance in harsh industrial settings.
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive family commonly supports CE compliance and offers enclosure options suitable for industrial environments. Depending on the installation region, additional certifications (such as IP protection levels or other regional safety approvals) may apply. Always verify the specific configuration and local regulatory requirements with the supplier datasheet and project specifications before deployment.
Regenerative braking reduces energy consumption and cooling demands, contributing to lower operating costs and improved energy efficiency. The integrated components simplify maintenance by reducing the number of separate modules, which can translate to lower lifecycle costs and reduced downtime. Routine checks should focus on wiring integrity, filter condition, and control software updates to sustain consistent performance.
