Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170312 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 content is achieved through optimized switching and control strategies, yielding total harmonic current distortion typically below 3% in nominal operation and up to 97% reduction compared with conventional drives. Business impact: improved power quality reduces transformer losses, lowers electrical interference with nearby sensitive equipment, and extends upstream equipment life. Applications include large motors, pumps, fans, and automated conveyors in plants where power quality directly affects uptime. The drive provides the possibility for network power factor correction to compensate for low power factors on the same network, boosting overall system efficiency and reducing utility charges. Installation benefits include reduced need for external PF correction equipment and simpler integration in existing power networks. ABB affords wide standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors to preventing unexpected motor starts. If more is needed, Order-Based Engineering adds customer-specific devices in a rugged cabinet, easing deployment and minimizing risk. The robust design and enclosure options, including IP54, support harsh environments and reduce downtime.
