Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047501 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 braking energy is returned to the supply through the integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filter. Business Impact: Reduces net energy consumption and cooling requirements, lowering operating costs. Application: Suitable for cranes, conveyors, pumps, and fans in continuous braking scenarios. Feature: Unity power factor operation with an integrated low harmonic line filter. Business Impact: Improves power quality, reduces utility penalties, and minimizes electrical stress on upstream networks. Application: Heavy-load automations and facilities with multiple high-inertia loads. Feature: Compact wall-mounted enclosure. Business Impact: Simplifies installation, saves panel space, and lowers wiring and mounting costs. Application: Retrofit projects and tight electrical rooms in industrial plants. Feature: Broad industry and application reach. Business Impact: Reduces the need for multiple drives by supporting cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, pumps and fans. Application: Oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp & paper, and automotive. Feature: Integrated protection and simplified commissioning. Business Impact: Fewer external components, faster start-up, and improved uptime. Application: Harsh environments in manufacturing yards, plants, and processing lines. Business insights: In industries with cyclic braking and variable loads, regenerative capability translates to tangible ROI through energy recovery, reduced cooling loads, and better overall power quality for downstream equipment.

FAQs
The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is designed for wall-mounted installation with a 500 V input and 14 A nominal current. For retrofit projects, plan for adequate panel space, ventilation, and minimal cabling between the drive, motor, and power supply. Use a dedicated feeder to maintain clean power and allow for proper protective devices per local codes.
Key specs include a 7.5 kW (Pn) rating, 14 A current, and 500 V input. UL rating is shown as UL Pld 10 Hp, 14 A, 480 V, reflecting North American compatibility. The drive supports regenerative braking with unity power factor and an integrated low-harmonic filter to enhance power quality.
Yes. The ACS880-11 regenerative drive is explicitly designed for load-handling equipment, including cranes, winches, winders, and conveyors. Its regenerative functionality returns braking energy to the supply, improving energy efficiency and reducing cooling loads in applications with frequent stop-start cycles.
The product references UL safety recognition and CE readiness for global markets, with configurations that support IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments. Confirm site-specific requirements with your ABB representative or integrator to ensure full compliance for your region and application.
Energy recovery during braking reduces net energy consumption, while the integrated components simplify installation and reduce external wiring and cooling needs. These factors combine to shorten payback periods and lower total cost of ownership, especially in facilities with high-duty cycles and frequent braking events.
