Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-101A-5 Regenerative Industrial Drive?

The ABB ACS880-11-101A-5 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding industrial applications requiring precise motor control and energy recovery. Identified by ABB product code 3AXD50000047395, this drive forms part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, delivering exceptional performance, reliability and efficiency in heavy-duty environments.

Unlike conventional drives that dissipate braking energy as heat, the ACS880-11 regenerative drive returns excess energy back to the supply network. This significantly improves energy efficiency, reduces cooling requirements and lowers operating costs, particularly in applications with frequent braking cycles or overhauling loads.

With a rated output power of 55 kW, a 101 A nominal output current and a three-phase 380–500 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-101A-5 is ideal for cranes, conveyors, winches, elevators, centrifuges, compressors and other industrial machinery where regenerative operation provides substantial energy savings. Its wall-mounted construction offers a compact and complete regenerative drive solution.
