ACS880-11-09A4-3 ABB 4kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive

Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-09A4-3 Regenerative Industrial Drive?

The ABB 3AXD50000047491, commercially designated as the ACS880-11-09A4-3, is a compact regenerative industrial AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for applications where braking energy can be recovered and reused. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive platform, it provides precise motor speed and torque control while returning excess energy from braking processes back to the electrical supply network.

Unlike conventional drives that dissipate braking energy as heat through resistors, the ACS880-11 regenerative drive captures this energy and feeds it back to the supply network, improving overall system efficiency and reducing cooling requirements. This technology makes the drive particularly suitable for cyclic or continuous braking applications such as cranes, elevators, winders and test benches.

With a rated output power of 4 kW and a nominal output current of 10 A, the ACS880-11-09A4-3 operates from a three-phase 400 V AC supply. Its wall-mounted industrial design integrates all necessary regenerative components in a single compact package, simplifying installation and commissioning in demanding industrial environments. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Energy-Efficient Regenerative Motor Control

Regenerative drives such as the ACS880-11 recover braking energy generated by motors during deceleration and feed it back to the electrical supply network. This reduces wasted energy, lowers cooling requirements and improves the overall energy efficiency of the system compared with traditional braking resistor solutions.

The ACS880 platform uses ABB’s Direct Torque Control technology to deliver highly accurate motor control performance across a wide range of industrial processes. This allows engineers to optimise system productivity while maintaining precise control of speed, torque and braking dynamics.

Typical Applications

• Cranes and hoisting equipment.
• Elevators and lifting machinery.
• Extruders, winders and unwinders.
• Conveyors and material handling systems.
• Industrial test benches.
• Automation systems with frequent braking cycles.
