ACS880-11-12A6-3 ABB 5.5kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive
ABB ACS880-11-12A6-3 regenerative industrial wall-mounted drive, a 5.5 kW three phase AC variable frequency drive designed for demanding motor control, braking energy recovery and industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-12A6-3 Regenerative Industrial Drive?
The ABB ACS880-11-12A6-3 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding industrial motor control applications where energy efficiency, braking performance and precise torque control are essential. Identified by ABB product ID 3AXD50000047492, this drive forms part of the advanced ABB ACS880-11 industrial regenerative drive series.
The ACS880-11 range combines ABB’s proven industrial drive platform with regenerative braking capability, allowing braking energy from the motor to be returned to the supply network instead of being wasted as heat. This makes it an excellent choice for applications with frequent deceleration, overhauling loads or high braking duty cycles.
With a rated output power of 5.5 kW, a nominal output current of 12.9 A and a three-phase 400 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-12A6-3 is ideal for cranes, hoists, conveyors, test benches, centrifuges, elevators and other industrial machinery requiring accurate motor control and efficient energy recovery.
