Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-11 regenerative drive efficiently controls heavy-industrial motors for conveyors, pumps, and cranes, enabling regenerative braking in demanding applications. Operators gain energy savings as braking energy is returned to the supply network, reducing cooling needs and peak demand. Note: Certification specifics such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not listed in this data, so verify with ABB for regional requirements. The system delivers unity power factor and integrated low-harmonic filtration, supporting electrical design compliance and smoother operation. By combining compact installation with robust protection and industry-grade control, it suits oil and gas, metals, and material-handling environments, driving lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000599059 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 and energy return are central features of the ACS880-11, turning braking energy into usable electrical energy within the system. The business impact is lower overall energy consumption and reduced cooling requirements, which translate to measurable utility savings on conveyors, cranes, winches, and other load profiles. Unity power factor and low harmonic filtering are integrated, delivering improved power quality and reduced utility penalties on large plants. The system is a compact, wall-mounted solution with an integrated active supply unit, which simplifies panel design, wiring, and commissioning while shrinking enclosure footprints. Its wide application range covers cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, pumps and fans across multiple industries. Installation and maintenance are streamlined by the single-drive architecture, reducing external components and spare-part inventories. Addressing common objections, the ACS880-11 integrates critical control and protection functions into one device, lowering total cost of ownership and speeding up project timelines. Industry insight shows regenerative operation in cyclic or continuous braking delivering tangible energy reuse opportunities for material handling and process lines, supporting sustainability goals and predictable maintenance windows.

FAQs
The ACS880-11 is a LV AC industrial wall-mounted regenerative drive designed to control a broad range of loads including conveyors, pumps, and cranes. It integrates an active supply unit and a low harmonic filter to simplify panel design, wiring, and commissioning, making it well-suited for retrofit projects or new installations in demanding environments.
Key performance features include regenerative operation that returns braking energy to the power supply, unity power factor for efficient grid use, and an integrated low harmonic line filter to improve power quality. It supports regenerative operation in both cyclic and continuous braking scenarios, ideal for dynamic load profiles such as conveyors and hoists.
This drive is particularly suitable for oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, and food and beverage processing, as well as marine and water treatment applications. Typical use cases include cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, pumps, fans, and other heavy-industrial motor applications requiring energy recovery and reliable control.
Certification details such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not specified in the provided data. For regional compliance, consult ABB documentation or regional representatives to confirm certifications and installation requirements before deployment.
Regenerative energy recovery reduces overall energy costs and cooling loads, while unity PF improves grid performance and can lower utility penalties. The integrated design simplifies installation and maintenance, potentially lowering total cost of ownership and spare-part needs compared with multi-component systems.
