Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047499 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
This drive is designed for LV AC motor control in wall-mounted panels and supports 480 V configurations with an active supply unit and low harmonic filter. It fits conveyors, cranes, pumps, and fans, and is suitable for spaces with limited cabinet depth due to its compact footprint.
Regenerative braking is ideal for cyclic or frequent stop-start processes such as cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, and elevators. Returning braking energy to the supply network reduces heat generation and cooling needs, improving overall energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
The drive includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, helping maintain a high power factor and clean input current. This reduces harmonic distortion in the facility, supporting compliance with electrical standards and extending equipment life.
The model supports UL-rated configurations for specified voltages and power, and the design emphasizes safety and energy efficiency aligned with industry best practices. For formal CE or regional certifications, consult the latest product sheet or your ABB representative.
Energy recovery during braking lowers utility costs and reduces cooling requirements, while a compact form factor eases installation and reduces panel space. Over time, uptime and maintenance savings accompany improved process stability, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership.
