ABB ACS880-37-2530A-3 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive (IEEE 519)
Part Number: 3AUA0000170267
Quick Summary
ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive delivers clean power and reliable motor control for demanding industrial applications. Harmonics from standard drives can disturb sensitive equipment and waste energy, driving higher maintenance and energy costs. It is IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-12 compliant, CE-marked, and available in IP54-rated enclosures for harsh environments. This combination helps manufacturers reduce energy losses, improve process stability, and simplify compliance within automation projects. With ABB's robust configuration options, including Order-Based Engineering, you gain predictable performance and faster commissioning—while maintaining focus on total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170267 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.

FAQs
Plan for available space in a cabinet that supports IP54-rated configurations, ensure proper wiring routes, verify cage-clamp terminals for three-phase input, and account for any required line contactors or fuses. The drive supports standard ABB configurations, which simplifies retrofits and reduces commissioning time.
The drive achieves typical THD of less than 3% with harmonic reduction up to 97% compared with conventional drives. It complies with IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-12 guidelines and carries CE marking, ensuring European regulatory alignment for power quality and safety.
Yes. The ACS880-37 provides robust vector and V/f control options, fast dynamic response, and protection features that support stable speed regulation and torque control in demanding production environments, while maintaining reliability across varying loads and temperatures.
By reducing harmonic losses and enabling power factor correction, the drive lowers energy consumption and may reduce utility penalties. The combination of higher efficiency, easier compliance, and faster commissioning contributes to a shorter payback period and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s life cycle.
Order-Based Engineering allows adding customer-specific devices and cabinet features beyond the standard configurations. This is beneficial for complex automation projects requiring bespoke protection, tailored I/O, and streamlined integration with existing plant equipment, reducing cabinet count and installation time.
