Part Number: 3AUA0000170266
Quick Summary
The ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive from ABB delivers precise motor control for industrial automation in factories with shared power networks. Harmonics can disturb sensitive equipment and raise energy losses, increasing maintenance and operating costs. It complies with IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-4, and G5/4 to limit distortion and protect the grid. This enables energy efficiency and smoother starts for conveyors, pumps, and machine tools, while ABB's Order-Based Engineering offers customization for unique, harsh environments. Designed for robust performance and easy integration, this drive supports your broader automation strategy with reliable power management.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170266 ABB: Harmonic distortions can disturb or even damage sensitive equipment connected in the same environment. Harmonics also cause additional losses in the network. =20
The ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content and exceeds the requirements of harmonic guidance/standards such as IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4 and G5/4. Compared to a conventional drive, the harmonic content is reduced by up to 97%. The total harmonic current distortion is typically <3% in a nominal situation and an undistorted network.
The drive offers the possibility for network power factor correction to compensate for the low power factors of equipment connected to the same network. Lower harmonics and full motor voltage at all times mean reduced system losses and better overall system efficiency.
The ACS880-37 comes with wide variety of standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors, to preventing unexpected motor starts. If the application requires more, ABB=E2=80=99s Order-Based Engineering services can add special features to the standard product, such as an additional cabinet for customer-specific devices. The robust design and enclosures up to IP54 make the ACS880-37 suitable for even very harsh environments.
Ultra-low harmonic content delivers measurable improvements in electrical performance, reducing THDi and associated losses while enabling tighter motor control for delicate processes. This directly translates to lower energy costs and longer equipment life in automation lines. The drive’s network power factor correction capability helps stabilize voltages in plants with mixed loads, improving overall plant efficiency. Standard configurations, including line contactors and anti-start features, reduce design time and integration risk, allowing faster commissioning in new lines or retrofits. The IP54-rated enclosure supports operation in typical shop-floor environments, minimizing protection concerns during installation and maintenance. Order-Based Engineering offers customized features for cabinet-level needs, enabling tailored protection schemes and device integration without sacrificing standard reliability. The ABB ACS880 family compatibility ensures long-term serviceability and spare-part availability, delivering predictable ROI and lifecycle support for OEMs and integrators.

FAQs
The ACS880-37-2060A-3 adheres to IEEE 519 for harmonic guidelines and IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-4, IEC61000-3-12 with G5/4 guidance. This ensures compliant harmonic performance across typical industrial networks, reduces THDi, and minimizes interference with nearby equipment. The durable design supports consistent compliance across motor-driven processes in automation lines.
Yes. The ACS880-37-2060A-3 is designed with an enclosure that meets IP54 protection, making it suitable for standard shop-floor environments where dust and light splashes may occur. This enhances reliability, reduces enclosure-related maintenance, and simplifies installation in harsh, centralized manufacturing areas without separate auxiliary housings.
The drive reduces harmonic content and enables network power factor correction, which lowers overall system losses and improves voltage quality. In facilities with mixed loads such as conveyors, pumps, and fans, this translates to higher efficiency, smoother operation, and reduced utility charges, supporting sustainability targets and lower total cost of ownership.
ABB provides a range of standardized configurations, including line contactors and anti-start features, to simplify integration. For unique requirements, Order-Based Engineering services can add customer-specific devices or cabinets. This combination accelerates commissioning, reduces engineering risk, and enables tailored protection schemes without sacrificing standard reliability.
Plan for seamless integration with the ACS880 family by verifying compatibility with existing drives and control architectures, ensuring IP54-rated enclosure placement, and sizing for harmonic performance. Benefit from ABB lifecycle support, common spare parts, and consistent software/firmware updates across the family, which reduces maintenance headaches and protects long-term ROI.
