Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-169A-3 Regenerative Industrial Drive?

The ABB ACS880-11-169A-3 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding industrial motor control applications where precise speed control, energy efficiency and braking energy recovery are required. Identified by ABB product code 3AXD50000042307, this drive is part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series.

The ACS880-11 range provides a compact wall-mounted regenerative drive solution, allowing braking energy from the motor to be fed back into the supply network rather than wasted as heat. This makes it ideal for cyclic or continuous braking applications where energy savings, reduced cabinet heat and efficient process control are important.

With a rated output power of 90 kW, a nominal output current of 169 A and a three-phase 400 V AC class supply, the ACS880-11-169A-3 is well suited for cranes, hoists, conveyors, centrifuges, test benches, winches, compressors, pumps and other demanding industrial machinery.
