ABB ACS880-37 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive - IEEE 519
Part Number: 3AUA0000170278
Quick Summary
ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive provides precise motor control for demanding industrial applications like pumps, fans, and conveyors. Harmonics can distort sensitive equipment and drive up energy costs, so power quality is a key uptime and efficiency driver for modern plants. The drive is IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2 compliant, CE-marked, and IP54-rated, delivering robust performance in harsh environments. This combination of low harmonic content and configurable features supports safer installations and easier maintenance. By enabling options such as network power factor correction, ABB helps facilities reduce losses, improve efficiency, and meet stringent compliance while keeping machine performance predictable.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170278 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.
