With a compact, wall-mounted design and integrated energy recovery, this solution simplifies installation and lowers operating costs for applications like conveyors, pumps, fans, cranes, and extruders.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047497 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: Regenerative operation returns braking energy to the supply network. Business Impact: Reduces cooling load, cuts energy costs, and improves grid interaction with a unity power factor. Application: Suitable for cranes, conveyors, pumps and fans in mineral processing plants. Feature: Integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter. Business Impact: Improves power quality, minimizes harmonic distortions, and supports compliant plant electrical infrastructure. Application: Critical in metal and chemical processing lines where harmonic management matters. Feature: Compact wall-mounted form. Business Impact: Eases installation in space-constrained facilities, lowers mounting footprint, and speeds commissioning. Application: Food & beverage lines, packaging, and offshore or marine facilities. Feature: Broad industry applicability. Business Impact: Delivers consistent regenerative performance across oil and gas, mining, cement, and power-generation environments. Application: Material handling, pulp and paper, winders and extruders. Objection handling: Regenerative systems are often perceived as complex; ABB’s integrated design reduces wiring, simplifies maintenance, and offers reliable cooling and protection. Industry context: The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is tailored for cyclic or continuous braking, aligning with modern plant energy strategies and sustainability goals.

FAQs
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed for LV AC motors and can interface with standard 400 V, 61 A motor circuits. It supports compact, wall-mounted installation and provides regenerative energy feedback, enabling a straightforward upgrade path for conveyors, pumps, fans, cranes, and extruders without overhauling your drive architecture. Compatibility should be validated against motor nameplate data and existing protection schemes.
Expect a regenerative drive capable of handling up to 30 kW (Pn) with 400 V supply and about 61 A current, delivering a unity power factor and integrated low harmonic filtering. The active supply unit supports regenerative braking, allowing energy returned to the grid rather than wasted as heat, which reduces cooling requirements and enhances system efficiency in cyclic braking or continuous braking scenarios.
Yes, the ACS880-11 family is designed for demanding industrial environments. Its compact, wall-mounted configuration plus integrated energy recovery makes it suitable for sectors like oil and gas, mining, metals, and chemicals, where reliability, protection, and energy efficiency are critical. Always confirm enclosure rating and installation specifics with the mounting site and equipment standards.
Industrial drives in the ACS880 family commonly align with CE conformity and broader safety and electrical standards. For exact certifications and safety features applicable to your region and application, refer to the official datasheet and product documentation. Confirm any site-specific regulatory requirements such as SIL safety functionality and protective enclosures during procurement.
The regenerative operation lowers energy costs by feeding braking energy back to the supply network, reducing cooling loads and potentially diminishing utility charges. The integrated design simplifies installation and reduces wiring, contributing to faster commissioning and lower maintenance. Over the equipment life, customers typically see improved plant efficiency, lower energy consumption, and fewer cooling requirements, contributing to a favorable return on investment.
