ABB ACS880-37-0580A-7 Motor Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AUA0000170309
Quick Summary
The ACS880-37-0580A-7 motor drive delivers precise speed control for heavy-duty conveyors, pumps, and fans. Harmonics can disturb sensitive equipment, trigger failures, and waste energy, driving up downtime and maintenance costs. The drive is CE certified, available with an IP54-rated enclosure for rugged environments, and delivers IEEE 519 compliant harmonic performance with IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, and G5/4 guidance. In addition, its network power factor correction helps compensate for low PF loads, reducing losses and improving overall efficiency. Together, these features translate to lower operating costs, safer operation in harsh plants, and longer asset life for industrial automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170309 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.
