ABB 3AXD50000047498 ACS880-11 Regenerative Drive - 37kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000047498
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-11 Regenerative Drive enables efficient motor control for industrial conveyors and cranes. Too often braking energy is wasted as heat, driving cooling costs and reducing overall system efficiency. This family supports CE marking and EMI/EMC compliance, with optional SIL-rated safety and IP-rated enclosures to suit harsher environments. The integrated active supply unit and low-harmonic filter deliver a compact, reliable regenerative solution that improves energy recovery and power quality across manufacturing, mining, and packaging lines. By consolidating control, protection, and energy recovery in a single unit, maintenance overhead is reduced and project timelines shorten, delivering lower total cost of ownership and faster scale-up for automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047498 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 braking returns braking energy to the electrical supply, reducing waste and cooling needs. Business impact: energy savings and lower peak demand. Application: ideal for conveyors, cranes, winches, and heavy-load handling in material handling and packaging lines. The unit provides unity power factor and low harmonic content with an integrated low harmonic line filter. Business impact: improved power quality, potential utility cost reductions, and easier grid compliance. Application: large manufacturing facilities and process plants with significant regenerative events. The compact, wall-mounted design with an integrated active supply unit simplifies installation and cabinet footprint. Business impact: faster deployment, reduced wiring complexity, and easier retrofit in space-constrained machine rooms. Application: modernization projects in automotive stamping, food & beverage lines, and plastics processing. A wide range of supported applications—cranes, extruders, winders, conveyors, pumps, and fans—reduces the need for multiple drives, cutting BOMs and maintenance. Business impact: lower total cost of ownership and simplified spare parts strategy. The drive’s robust protection features and industry-appropriate reliability translate to longer mean time between failures in harsh environments like oil & gas, metals, and mining. Application: critical equipment in continuous operation settings benefits from predictable performance. The ACS880-11 family compatibility ensures seamless upgrades and straightforward integration with existing ABB controls and safety systems. Business impact: smoother retrofit projects and consistent engineering workflows across automation architectures.

FAQs
Plan for wall-mount installation with a 400 V supply and appropriate clearance for cooling. Ensure the site supports the drive’s integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filter. Verify enclosure protection level and wiring compatibility with existing motor control hardware. Provide proper shielding and EMI/EMC grounding to maintain optimal performance in demanding environments.
The drive delivers up to 37 kW of motor power with a rated current of 72 A at 400 V. It offers regenerative braking, returning energy to the supply, and achieves a unity power factor with integrated energy management. These specs enable efficient control of motors across conveyors, pumps, and lifting equipment while maintaining power quality.
Yes. The ACS880-11 family is designed for demanding sectors such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and marine operations. Its regenerative capability supports cyclic braking in cranes and winders, while the compact, wall-mounted form factor fits space-constrained machine rooms and control cabinets.
The ACS880-11 family typically aligns with CE compliance and EMI/EMC standards suitable for global deployments. Depending on the installation and region, options for SIL-rated safety and IP-rated enclosures are available to meet rigorous regulatory and industrial safety requirements. Always consult the current spec sheet for country-specific certifications.
Regenerative operation reduces energy consumption and peak demand, lowering utility costs and cooling load. Fewer components and integrated protection can shorten maintenance intervals and simplify spare parts management. Retrofit projects benefit from unified ABB control compatibility, easing integration with existing automation and safety systems.
