ABB ACS880-11-087A-3 regenerative industrial drive, a 45 kW three-phase AC variable frequency drive with active front-end technology for energy recovery and advanced motor control.
The ABB ACS880-11-087A-3 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for industrial applications requiring both motor control and energy regeneration. Identified by ABB product ID 3AXD50000045382, this drive belongs to the advanced ABB ACS880 regenerative drive series, providing precise motor control while returning braking energy back to the power supply network instead of dissipating it as heat.
The ACS880-11 range is specifically engineered for applications with frequent braking cycles or overhauling loads. Its integrated active front-end technology eliminates the need for external braking resistors while improving energy efficiency, reducing installation complexity and lowering operating costs.
With a rated output power of 45 kW, a nominal output current of 87 A and a three-phase 380-415 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-087A-3 is ideal for cranes, conveyors, elevators, winders, hoists, centrifuges and other applications where regenerative operation is required. Its wall-mounted construction provides a compact and complete regenerative drive solution.
Unlike conventional variable frequency drives that dissipate braking energy as heat, regenerative drives return excess energy back into the electrical supply system. This improves overall system efficiency, reduces heat generation and can significantly lower energy costs in applications with frequent braking cycles.
The ACS880-11 series combines regenerative operation with ABB's advanced Direct Torque Control technology, delivering highly accurate motor performance while maintaining excellent power quality and operational reliability. These drives are widely used across industries including mining, metals, marine, material handling, water treatment and manufacturing.

This regenerative drive is used for controlling industrial motors in applications where braking energy can be recovered and returned to the electrical supply network.
The ACS880-11-087A-3 supports motors with a rated output power of approximately 45 kW.
A regenerative drive converts braking energy into electrical energy and feeds it back into the power network rather than dissipating it through braking resistors.
The drive operates from a three-phase 380-415 V AC supply.
Applications such as cranes, elevators, conveyors, winders, hoists and centrifuges benefit significantly because they frequently generate braking energy during operation.
ABB ACS880 regenerative drives are trusted worldwide by engineers and system integrators for delivering efficient energy recovery, advanced motor control and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
