ABB ACS880-11-156A-5 regenerative industrial drive, a 90 kW three phase AC variable frequency drive designed for efficient energy recovery and demanding industrial motor control applications.
The ABB ACS880-11-156A-5 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding industrial applications requiring precise motor control and efficient energy recovery. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it delivers reliable speed and torque regulation while returning braking energy back to the electrical supply network.
This regenerative drive combines ABB’s advanced industrial drive platform with energy recovery technology, helping reduce wasted braking energy, lower heat generation and improve overall system efficiency. Its wall-mounted design makes it suitable for industrial installations where dependable operation, compact integration and reduced harmonic impact are important.
With a rated output power of 90 kW, a nominal output current of 156 A and a three-phase 380–500 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-156A-5 is ideal for large motors used in cranes, conveyors, hoists, winders, pumps, compressors and process machinery.
Regenerative drives such as the ABB ACS880-11 return braking energy from the motor back into the electrical supply network instead of wasting it as heat through braking resistors. This can improve energy efficiency, reduce cooling requirements and support more sustainable industrial operation.
The ACS880-11 series is particularly useful in applications with frequent braking, overhauling loads or repeated acceleration and deceleration cycles. Its advanced control platform helps maintain process accuracy while improving energy performance across demanding machinery and automation systems.
