Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047496 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.

FAQs
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed for 400 V three-phase networks and 22 kW motors. It fits standard industrial control panels, supports common wiring practices, and leverages an integrated active supply unit to simplify commissioning. For retrofit projects, verify panel clearance, wiring routes, and motor protection settings to ensure seamless integration with existing MCC and downstream drives.
Regenerative capability is defined by the drive’s ability to return braking energy to the supply network via the DC bus and DC link, aided by the integrated low harmonic filter. Key specs include 22 kW power, 45 A current, and 400 V input. This configuration supports energy recovery during braking, improving overall efficiency and reducing cooling loads.
Yes. The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is engineered for applications like cranes, conveyors, pumps, and fans. Its regenerative braking and high-torque control enable smooth startup/shutdown, precise speed regulation, and energy recovery during braking cycles, which improves throughput and reduces wear on mechanical components in demanding industrial environments.
ABB typically provides CE-compliant configurations for European markets and offers SIL-ready safety options plus IP-rated enclosure variants to suit harsh environments. For your exact installation, confirm the specific certification package with ABB or your distributor, and ensure your system wiring and safety interlocks meet local regulations and plant standards.
Regenerative drives reduce energy consumption by returning braking energy to the grid, lowering cooling requirements and improving motor efficiency. They also simplify maintenance with integrated diagnostics and reduce peak demand charges. In conveyors, cranes, and pumps, payback commonly occurs through energy savings, reduced heat load, and extended equipment life.
