It helps minimize disturbances from harmonic content while delivering reliable speed and torque control for conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools. This drive adheres to key electrical standards, including IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-12, with EC61000-3-4 enforcement, and it features a robust IP54 enclosure for challenging environments. By reducing harmonic losses and enabling network power factor correction, it supports improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs across automation facilities. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to smoother installations, easier compliance, and predictable performance in production lines and utility-heavy applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170282 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.
