Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00046974-D ABB: The ACS880-01 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps, and fans. The ACS880-01 comes in one compact package for easy installation and commissioning. The drive can be installed on the wall as standard and in a cabinet as an option. The drive offering includes enclosure classes up to IP55, making it suitable for most environments and installations. ACS880-01 drives have all the essential features built-in. These features include as standard a choke for harmonic filtering as well as options like a brake chopper, EMC filter and communication protocol adapter, functional safety, external output filters, and I/O extension modules.
The built-in harmonic filtering choke reduces harmonic currents and improves power quality, protecting upstream equipment and reducing transformer stress. This directly lowers energy losses tied to poor power factor and minimizes issues with grid connections for heavy-load lines. In practice, conveyors and pumps benefit from smoother motor operation, fewer nuisance trips, and easier compliance with electrical standards in demanding facilities. Compact, wall-mounted package simplifies installation and reduces control cabinet footprint. The single, integrated unit can be installed on a wall or in a standard cabinet, saving space in crowded automation rooms and accelerating commissioning. This footprint efficiency makes retrofits faster and lowers initial installation costs for facilities upgrading aging equipment to the ACS880-01 platform. IP55 enclosure option provides rugged protection in harsh environments. Whether in metal mills, water treatment, or chemical plants, the enclosure class up to IP55 protects electronics from dust and water ingress while maintaining accessibility for service. This expands the range of industrial locations where modular drives can be deployed without separate protective enclosures. Extensive compatibility and options enable seamless integration. Brake chopper, EMC filter, and protocol adapters, plus I/O extension modules, allow you to tailor the drive to the control system and motor topology. This reduces wiring complexity, supports common fieldbuses, and simplifies commissioning with standard ABB interfaces for conveyors, cranes, and winders. Functional safety and standards support critical operations. Optional safety features help meet regulatory and internal safety policies, reducing risk in material handling, automotive production lines, and process plants. The ACS880-01 design also emphasizes reliability and maintainability, ensuring predictable performance across shifts and seasons. Broad application versatility and efficiency benefits. From pumps and fans to mixers and extruders, the ACS880-01 drives offer scalable control with energy-saving modes and diagnostics that support preventive maintenance. This reduces total cost of ownership while enabling rapid expansion into new lines or product SKUs.

FAQs
Installation guidance starts with confirming the motor's rated power (1.5 kW) and current (4 A) align with the drive's nominal values. Mount on a suitable wall or into a cabinet as required, wire via standard I/O interfaces, and configure control terms in the ACS880-01 setup. The drive supports common fieldbuses and ABB-compatible I/O modules, enabling straightforward integration with existing PLCs and motor starters. For compatibility, check motor type (AC induction) and rotor torque requirements; if in doubt, consult ABB's engineering notes or request a compatibility matrix for your specific motor model.
The 1.5 kW, 4 A rating informs the drive’s output capability for typical LV motors in conveyors, pumps, and fans. Built-in harmonic filtering reduces reactive losses and improves power factor, which lowers utility charges and transformer loading. Efficiency gains come from smooth V/f control, regenerative options, and energy-saving modes. For installers, this means predictable torque delivery, reduced motor wear, and lower long-term operating costs in continuous processes.
Yes, the ACS880-01 supports rugged installation with IP55-rated enclosures, protecting electronics from dust and water ingress in industrial settings. Wall-mounted use is standard, with cabinet installation as an option for tighter spaces or centralized control rooms. This versatility makes it appropriate for steel mills, water/wastewater facilities, petrochemical plants, and other demanding environments where reliable drive control is essential.
The drive is CE certified, meeting essential European safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. It offers an IP55 enclosure option for rugged installations and optional functional safety features to support risk-reduction in critical processes like material handling and automotive manufacturing. Additional safety-related options include brake choppers and EMC filters to maintain compliant operation in complex automation networks.
ROI benefits come from reduced energy consumption due to improved power quality and efficient motor control, plus lower maintenance due to fewer nuisance trips and longer motor life. The built-in diagnostics and broad compatibility simplify spare-part provisioning and upgrades, while the compact wall-mount design reduces panel space and wiring complexity. Over time, these factors translate into lower total cost of ownership and faster deployment of new lines.
