Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000165141 ABB: The ACS880-04 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 ACS880-04 modules have all the essential features built-in including a choke for harmonic filtering as standard, and options such as a brake chopper, EMC filter and communication protocol adapter, functional safety and I/O extension modules. The all built-in design combined with IP20 protection significantly simplifies engineering. The drive=E2=80=99s compact size, flexible cabling directions and versatile mounting possibilities from narrow bookshelf to flat mounting and horizontal mounting make it an ideal fit for almost any enclosure. The control unit with I/O and communication connections can be mounted outside the power module or integrated into it.
Built-in harmonic filtering choke reduces third-harmonic distortion at the source, delivering cleaner power and improved PWM performance. Business impact: higher power quality allows longer motor life and reduced downstream electrical noise, which lowers maintenance and warranty risks in conveyors and pumps. Application: material handling lines and pumping systems benefit from smoother operation and fewer nuisance trips. The IP20-rated enclosure with flexible mounting directions simplifies cabinet design, saving rack space and enabling faster installation across tight industrial spaces. Business impact: reduced cabinet size and installation time translate to lower CAPEX and faster project ROI. Application: compact lines in sawmills, food and beverage, and automotive assembly lines. Brake chopper option and EMC filter improve braking energy handling and EMI suppression, supporting compliant installations near sensitive equipment. Business impact: safer operation with reduced radiated emissions lowers integration risk in multi-vendor control rooms. Application: cranes, winders, and mills where precise stop-and-hold performance matters. I/O extension modules and external communication connections offer scalable, PLC-ready integration, reducing programming time and enabling seamless data exchange with SCADA and MES. Business impact: faster commissioning, easier diagnostics, and improved production analytics. Application: packaging lines, mixers, and process equipment. The built-in design and flexible cabling minimise field wiring errors, while safety features and optional functional safety support help you meet regulatory requirements. Business impact: greater reliability, predictable maintenance, and a clearer path to compliance across plant sites.

FAQs
Begin by verifying panel space and enclosure rating, then plan wiring routes for power, motor leads, and I/O connections. Mount the drive module securely, connect the 690 V power supply and 690 V motor, and attach the control I/O to the PLC or PLC/SCADA interface. Use the built-in harmonic filter and ensure EMI considerations are addressed with the optional EMC filter if required. Finally, configure the drive through the commissioning software and perform a careful startup test to confirm motor tolerance and protection settings.
The drive module supports up to 710 kW and 721 A at 690 V, with UL-rated performance for industrial applications. It features IP20 protection, built-in harmonic filtering, and options for a brake chopper and EMC filter. The unit also supports flexible mounting and I/O extension, enabling robust integration with standard PLCs and fieldbus networks while maintaining efficient and smooth motor control.
Yes. The ACS880-04-721A-7 is designed for cranes, conveyors, winches, and similar heavy-duty applications. Its integrated harmonic filtering, compact form factor, flexible mounting, and optional brake chopper help manage braking energy and power quality. This makes it well-suited for continuous-duty lines in material handling, mining, and processing environments where reliable motor control and easy integration with automation systems are critical.
The drive offers IP20 enclosure protection and UL-related performance for industrial safety. It also supports optional functional safety features and a brake chopper, with EMI filtering options to support regulatory compliance. While CE certification is commonly expected in many markets, confirm current local approvals with ABB or your distributor to ensure alignment with regional standards.
The built-in harmonic filtering reduces harmonic distortion at the source, improving power quality and reducing stress on downstream equipment. This can lower maintenance costs, extend motor life, and reduce the need for external harmonic mitigation equipment. The integrated design simplifies wiring, speeds commissioning, and lowers cabinet footprint, contributing to faster project ROI and easier ongoing diagnostics through centralized control and monitoring.
