ACS880-11-072A-3 ABB 37kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive

Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-072A-3 Regenerative Drive?

The ABB 3AXD50000047498, also known as the ACS880-11-072A-3, is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for advanced industrial motor control. As part of the ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it combines precise control with energy-efficient regenerative technology, making it ideal for applications with frequent braking or energy recovery requirements.

This wall-mounted drive features ABB’s advanced Direct Torque Control (DTC), delivering accurate speed and torque control without requiring encoder feedback. Its integrated regenerative capability allows braking energy to be fed back into the power network rather than dissipated as heat, improving overall system efficiency and reducing cooling requirements.

With a rated output power of 37 kW, a nominal output current of 72 A, and a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-072A-3 is well suited for applications such as cranes, conveyors, winders, test benches and other systems requiring dynamic braking and energy recovery. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
