Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170308 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 design delivers up to 97% harmonic reduction with THDI typically below 3% in nominal operation, which directly lowers electromagnetic interference and improves energy efficiency. Business impact: steadier process conditions, reduced risk of equipment chatter, and improved plant reliability. Application: conveyors, pumps, and fans in mixed-load facilities benefit from cleaner power and longer equipment life. Power factor correction options help reduce reactive energy draw, lowering utility penalties and facilitating compliance with energy-use targets. Application: facilities with variable-speed drives and non-linear loads achieve better power quality and reduced utility costs. Standardized configurations, including line contactors and robust enclosures up to IP54, simplify installation and enhance reliability in harsh environments. Application: automation halls, outdoor installations, and retrofit projects with tight space and environmental constraints. Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific devices and adaptations, reducing integration risk and shortening project timelines. Application: custom control panels and special sequencing in demanding OEM installations. Compatibility with ABB motor systems and drive ecosystems ensures seamless software upgrades and long-term support. Application: scalable automation strategies that match evolving production needs.

FAQs
The ACS880-37-0390A-7 is designed for seamless integration with ABB motor systems and is compatible with many standard motor types through configurable parameters and wired options. It supports common fieldbus interfaces, provides built-in safety features, and simplifies parameter transfer from legacy drives. For non-ABB motors, ensure coil and drive ratings match the motor’s electrical characteristics and verify protection settings to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
In nominal operation, the ACS880-37-0390A-7 achieves total harmonic current distortion (THDI) typically below 3%, with harmonic reduction up to 97% compared to conventional drives. This level of harmonic suppression minimizes interference with other equipment, reduces energy losses in the network, and supports compliant operation under IEEE 519 and relevant IEC standards.
Key certifications include IEEE 519 for harmonic control, IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-4 for emissions and network interactions. These standards address harmonic limits, power quality, and system-wide electrical disturbances. The drive’s design and configuration options help facilities demonstrate compliance, reduce risk during audits, and align with utility interconnection requirements.
IP54-rated enclosures protect the drive against dust ingress and splash exposure, making the ACS880-37-0390A-7 suitable for moderately harsh environments. When selecting IP54 options, plan for appropriate cooling, cable routing, and access for maintenance. Ensure adequate ventilation and follow ABB installation guidelines to maintain performance and compliance in outdoor or workshop settings.
Harmonic reduction lowers wasted energy and reduces stress on electrical networks, while power factor correction decreases reactive energy penalties and improves overall efficiency. ROI improves through lower energy bills, reduced maintenance costs from less electrical stress, and longer motor life. Projects with high non-linear loads and limited electrical infrastructure typically see the quickest payback when deploying the ACS880-37-0390A-7.
