ABB ACS880-11-087A-3 regenerative industrial drive, a 45 kW three-phase AC variable frequency drive with energy recovery capability for demanding industrial motor control applications.
The ABB ACS880-11-105A-3, product ID 3AXD50000047393, is a high-performance regenerative industrial variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding motor-control applications where braking energy can be recovered and returned to the electrical supply. Part of ABB's ACS880 industrial drive family, it combines precise motor control, regenerative operation and low-harmonic performance in a compact wall-mounted package.
Unlike conventional drive systems that dissipate braking energy through resistors, the ACS880-11 can feed regenerative energy back into the supply network so it can be used by other equipment. This makes the drive particularly valuable for cyclic braking and overhauling-load applications such as cranes, hoists, winches, elevators, centrifuges and conveyors, where significant amounts of energy can otherwise be lost as heat.
The ACS880-11-105A-3 provides an IEC nominal motor power rating of 55 kW with a normal-use output current of 105 A at 400 V. Designed for a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply, the drive also provides 55 kW / 100 A light-overload capability and 45 kW / 87 A heavy-duty capability, making it a versatile solution for demanding regenerative industrial applications.
The ABB ACS880-11 combines variable-speed motor control with regenerative capability. During deceleration or when an overhauling load drives the motor, energy can flow back through the drive into the electrical supply network instead of being converted into heat by braking resistors. This can reduce wasted energy, lower cooling requirements and improve the overall efficiency of machinery with frequent braking cycles.
ABB's Direct Torque Control technology provides rapid and accurate regulation of motor torque and speed, while the regenerative architecture enables true four-quadrant operation. Together, these capabilities make the ACS880-11 particularly suitable for applications such as cranes, winches, elevators, centrifuges and test systems where both motoring and generating operation occur regularly.

ABB product ID 3AXD50000047393 corresponds to the ACS880-11-105A-3, a wall-mounted regenerative industrial drive rated at 55 kW and 105 A for normal-use IEC applications at 400 V.
The drive is rated at 55 kW / 105 A for normal use, 55 kW / 100 A for light-overload use and 45 kW / 87 A for heavy-duty use.
The ACS880-11 can recover electrical energy produced by the motor during braking or overhauling operation and return that energy to the supply network rather than dissipating it through conventional braking resistors.
The ACS880-11-105A-3 is designed for a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply with a nominal IEC voltage of 400 V.
The drive is particularly useful for cranes, hoists, winches, elevators, conveyors, centrifuges, test benches and other machinery with frequent braking or regenerative operating cycles, while also supporting pumps, fans, compressors, mixers and other industrial loads.
ABB ACS880-11 regenerative drives provide machine builders, system integrators and industrial operators with precise motor control, four-quadrant operation and efficient recovery of braking energy for demanding industrial applications.
