Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047502 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 unit delivers 11 kW (IEC) / 15 Hp (UL) with a rated current of 21 A. Voltage specifications include 500 V under IEC and 480 V under UL. It supports regenerative braking with an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filtering, designed to maintain a high-quality power profile while driving 3-phase motors efficiently.
Regenerative braking returns motor braking energy to the supply rather than dissipating it as heat. This, combined with unity power factor and low harmonic content, reduces utility energy costs, minimizes cooling needs, and lowers overall energy consumption for cycles in conveyors, cranes, and other dynamic loads.
Yes. The ACS880-11 family is designed for harsh industrial environments and varied loads common in oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and power generation. Its regenerative capability, integrated components, and industry-specific customization options help align motor control with safety, efficiency, and reliability requirements typical in these sectors.
Plan for a 3-phase connection with IEC 500 V or UL 480 V ratings and ensure proper mounting for heat dissipation. The drive includes an active supply unit and low harmonic filter, simplifying wiring and improving power quality. Check compatibility with existing control systems and ensure adequate space for maintenance access and cooling requirements.
Expect lower energy costs due to regenerative braking and reduced cooling needs, plus simplified installation with fewer external components. Maintenance typically involves standard drive health checks, filter inspections, and software updates. The result is improved uptime, faster project ROI, and a lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle.
