ABB ACS880-11-169A-3 regenerative industrial drive, a 90 kW low voltage AC wall-mounted variable frequency drive designed for demanding industrial motor control and braking energy recovery applications.
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.
Regenerative drives such as the ABB ACS880-11-169A-3 control motor speed and torque while recovering braking energy from the driven equipment. Instead of dissipating this energy through braking resistors, the drive feeds it back into the electrical network, helping improve overall system efficiency.
The ACS880-11 is particularly useful in applications with frequent deceleration, lowering loads or continuous braking cycles. Its industrial design, flexible control options and wide communication support make it suitable for demanding automation systems where reliable performance is essential.
