Why Choose the ABB ACS880-11-017A-3 Regenerative Drive?

The ABB ACS880-11-017A-3 is a high-performance regenerative AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed and torque control in demanding industrial applications where efficient braking and energy recovery are required. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it combines regenerative technology, accurate motor control and flexible automation connectivity in a compact wall-mounted drive.

Unlike conventional drives that typically dissipate braking energy as heat through braking resistors, the ACS880-11 can return regenerative energy to the electrical supply network. Its active supply technology also provides low harmonic distortion and a power factor close to unity, helping improve electrical efficiency while reducing the need for additional harmonic mitigation equipment.

With a rated output power of 7.5 kW, a nominal output current of 17 A and a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply, the ACS880-11-017A-3 is ideal for cranes, hoists, conveyors, winches, extruders and other machinery involving frequent acceleration and deceleration. Its wall-mounted IP21 construction provides a compact regenerative solution for industrial motor control installations.

Key Advantages

  • Advanced regenerative variable frequency drive capable of returning braking energy to the supply network.
  • 7.5 kW rated output power for demanding industrial machinery.
  • 17 A nominal output current for reliable motor control.
  • Three-phase 380–415 V AC input for industrial power systems.
  • ABB Direct Torque Control (DTC) provides precise speed and torque control.
  • Active supply technology supports low harmonic distortion and a power factor close to unity.
  • Integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality supports machinery safety requirements.
  • Regenerative operation can reduce energy consumption and eliminate the need for braking resistors in many applications.

Energy-Efficient Regenerative Motor Control

Regenerative variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS880-11 control motor speed and torque while allowing electrical energy generated during motor braking to be returned to the supply network. This can significantly reduce wasted braking energy and cooling requirements in machinery with frequent deceleration, lowering operating costs while improving overall system efficiency.

The ACS880-11 series combines regenerative operation with ABB Direct Torque Control, integrated safety functionality and flexible industrial communications. This makes it particularly well suited to dynamic machinery and process applications where precise motor performance, controlled braking and efficient energy recovery are important.

Typical Applications

  • Cranes, hoists and lifting systems.
  • Winches and winding machinery.
  • Conveyors with regenerative braking cycles.
  • Extruders and processing machinery.
  • Centrifuges and dynamic process equipment.
  • Test benches and industrial machinery with frequent braking.
  • Material handling and production systems.
  • Industrial automation requiring four-quadrant motor operation.
