Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000170316 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.

FAQs
The ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive minimizes harmonic distortion by delivering exceptionally low harmonic content and up to a 97 percent reduction compared with conventional drives. In nominal operation, total harmonic current distortion is typically under 3%, helping protect sensitive equipment and reduce network losses. This improves power quality across the plant.
It meets key standards such as IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4 and G5/4, ensuring compatibility with common utility and equipment requirements. This compliance supports easier acceptance in regulated environments and reduces risk of interference. These standards guide harmonic limits and measurement methods, enabling consistent benchmarking and procurement confidence.
Yes, the drive offers a network power factor correction capability, helping compensate for naturally low power factor of some connected equipment. By improving PF, it reduces reactive power, lowers utility charges, and enhances overall energy efficiency, especially in facilities with mixed motors, drives, and non-linear loads.
The ACS880-37 is designed for harsh environments with enclosures rated up to IP54, protecting electronics from dust and water ingress. It supports standardized configurations and can be paired with protective line starters. For OEMs, ABB’s customization options via Order-Based Engineering can tailor cabinets and interfaces for specific installation layouts.
Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific features beyond the standard configuration, such as additional cabinet space for devices, tailored control logic, and tailored protection schemes. This reduces assembly time, minimizes field wiring, and accelerates commissioning, delivering faster time-to-value for large-scale installations and OEM projects.
