Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170313 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.
Harmonic suppression delivers up to 97% reduction in harmonic content versus conventional drives, with total harmonic distortion typically below 3% in nominal operation. Business impact: higher electrical efficiency, reduced equipment heating, and fewer interference issues on sensitive lines. Application: large textile, metals, and pumping systems where multiple drives operate in parallel and grid quality matters. Power factor correction options improve overall plant efficiency, delivering measurable energy savings and easier power quality management. Application: facilities with limited dedicated harmonic mitigation infrastructure or tight energy budgets. Standardized configurations cover common needs from line contactors to preventive startup features, while ABB Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific devices without custom enclosures. Business impact: faster deployment, reduced lead times, and lower lifecycle costs. Application: multi-variant installations in process industries. IP54 ruggedization ensures reliable operation in dusty or humid environments, reducing maintenance interventions and downtime. Application: mining, cement, and chemical plants. Overall, the ACS880-37 supports scalable automation, easier maintenance, and a clearer path to ROI for engineering teams.

FAQs
Yes. The ACS880-37 is designed for standard cabinet configurations and ABB motor interfaces, enabling straightforward integration with existing ABB equipment. Its IP54-rated enclosure supports common industrial layouts, and order-based engineering allows you to tailor devices without custom enclosures. Verify cabinet space and wiring headroom during pre-install checks to ensure optimal clearance, cooling, and ease of service access.
The ACS880-37 delivers up to a 97% reduction in harmonic content vs conventional drives, with total harmonic distortion typically under 3% in nominal operation. This level of performance helps protect sensitive equipment, reduces electrical losses, and improves overall drive efficiency. It also supports compliance with IEEE 519 and related standards, easing regulatory adherence in critical plants.
Industries with heavy motor loads and strict power quality needs benefit most, including pumps, fans, conveyors, and metal processing lines. Harsh environments such as mining, cement, and chemical plants gain from IP54 protection and robust design, while integration with network power factor correction improves plant-level energy efficiency and reduces downstream electrical losses across large installations.
The drive complies with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4 and G5/4, addressing harmonic emission limits and grid interface requirements. This helps ensure predictable electrical behavior across facilities and simplifies regulatory audits, supplier qualification, and customer-side compliance for heavy industrial projects.
ABB’s Order-Based Engineering provides tailored features without custom cabling, reducing project risk and lead times.
