When braking energy is wasted as heat, uptime and cooling costs rise; this drive returns energy to the supply, improving overall efficiency. It carries CE marking and UL recognition for global compliance, with safety-focused design and SIL-ready control logic for dependable operation in harsh environments. The integrated low harmonic filter and unity power factor help meet grid-code requirements while reducing utility charges. By combining compact, wall-mounted installation with a regenerative architecture, this drive supports reliable automation projects and lowers total cost of ownership for modern manufacturing and processing facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000047507 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 energy recovery returns braking energy to the supply network, reducing energy consumption and cooling load. Business Impact: Lower operating costs, improved equipment availability, and reduced heat management requirements in cyclic braking applications. Application: cranes, winches, winders, and heavy conveyors in materials handling and processing plants. Feature: Unity power factor and integrated low harmonic line filter minimize electrical disturbances and utility penalties. Business Impact: Easier grid compliance, reduced harmonic distortion, and fewer capacitors needed in new installations. Application: large drives in metal processing and chemical plants with strict power quality requirements. Feature: Active supply unit and compact wall-mounted design streamline installation and panel space. Business Impact: Faster commissioning, simpler retrofits, and space-efficient control panels. Application: OEM machine builds and panel builders in food & beverage, packaging, and automotive sectors. Feature: Broad industry applicability across oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, and water/wastewater. Business Impact: Single-drive scalability reduces spare parts, simplifies procurement, and enables standardized controls. Application: multi-drive systems for conveyors, pumps, fans, and extruders. Feature: 45 kW rating with 77 A at 500 V (UL: 60 Hp, 77 A at 480 V); robust performance for demanding loads. Business Impact: Reliable motor matching and predictable performance for legacy and new systems alike. Application: replacement or upgrade of legacy drives in manufacturing and process industries.

FAQs
This wall-mounted regenerative drive is designed for compact panels and easy integration with existing PLCs. When planning installation, verify clear ventilation, proper mounting height, and accessible wiring routes. Use the integrated power filter and adjust control wiring to avoid EMI. Ensure your enclosure provides adequate protection for environmental conditions and meets local electrical codes.
During braking, motor energy is redirected back to the drive and fed into the DC bus or supply network rather than dissipated as heat. This reduces energy waste, lowers cooling loads, and can improve overall plant efficiency. The result is lower operating costs, reduced heat generation, and improved process stability in systems with frequent stop-start cycles.
Ideal for industries with high braking demand such as cranes, conveyors, winches, pumps, and fans in oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and water treatment. Its compact form factor, energy recovery capability, and low harmonic content support continuous operation in harsh environments while enabling reliable automation across material handling and processing lines.
Key considerations include CE marking for European compliance and UL recognition for North American markets. Confirm any SIL-related safety requirements with your system integrator and ensure the installation complies with local electrical standards and enclosure protection levels. Always reference the latest ABB datasheet for explicit certification scope and safety configurations.
Benefits include energy savings from regenerative braking, reduced cooling needs, and lower utility charges due to improved power factor and harmonics. Maintenance tends to be streamlined by an integrated design with built-in protection features and diagnostics. ROI improves with high-duty cycling, reduced downtime, and shorter commissioning times due to simplified installation and commissioning workflows.
