ABB ACS880-11-027A-5 regenerative industrial variable frequency drive, a 15 kW three phase AC drive with 27 A output current and 380–500 V AC input for energy-efficient motor control applications.
The ABB ACS880-11-027A-5 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed and torque control of three-phase motors in demanding industrial applications. Identified by ABB product code 3AXD50000047503, this drive forms part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, engineered for reliable motor control, energy recovery and flexible automation integration.
The ACS880-11 series is designed for applications where regenerative braking and efficient energy management are important. It can return braking energy back to the supply network, helping reduce energy waste and improve overall system efficiency in machinery with frequent deceleration, braking or overhauling loads.
With a rated output power of 15 kW, a nominal output current of 27 A and a three-phase 380–500 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-027A-5 is ideal for cranes, hoists, conveyors, centrifuges, test benches, winches, elevators and process machinery. Its wall-mounted regenerative design provides a compact and efficient solution for demanding industrial motor control.
Regenerative variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS880-11-027A-5 control motor speed by adjusting the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor while also recovering braking energy. Instead of dissipating excess energy as heat through braking resistors, regenerative drives can feed energy back into the electrical network.
The ACS880-11 platform is particularly suited to industrial processes with repeated braking, lowering or deceleration cycles. Its advanced motor control, integrated safety and flexible communication options make it suitable for demanding automation systems where efficiency, precision and reliability are essential.
