ABB ACS880-11-072A-3 regenerative AC variable frequency drive, a 37 kW wall-mounted industrial drive designed for energy recovery and high-performance motor control applications.
The ABB ACS880-11-072A-3 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for industrial applications that require efficient motor control and energy recovery. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it combines precise motor control with regenerative functionality, allowing braking energy to be returned to the power network instead of being dissipated as heat.
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, the ACS880-11 series delivers exceptional performance, flexibility and reliability. Its integrated active supply unit and low harmonic design help improve power quality while reducing energy consumption. The drive supports a wide range of automation and communication protocols, making integration into modern industrial systems straightforward.
With a rated output power of 37 kW and a three-phase 380-415 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-072A-3 is ideal for applications involving frequent braking cycles, high inertia loads and regenerative operation. Its wall-mounted design provides a compact solution for industrial control systems.
Unlike conventional drives that dissipate braking energy through resistors, the ABB ACS880-11 regenerative drive returns excess energy to the electrical supply network. This improves overall system efficiency, reduces heat generation and can significantly lower operating costs in applications with frequent deceleration cycles.
The ACS880-11 series is particularly suitable for high-performance industrial processes where energy recovery, accurate speed control and low harmonic operation are important requirements. Its advanced control capabilities make it ideal for modern automation systems.
