FAQs
The ACS880-34 integrates an active supply unit and an embedded low-harmonic line filter, reducing the need for external harmonic filters and multi-pulse setups. It supports bookshelf variants that can be pushed inside cabinets, simplifying layout and maintenance. Ensure adequate cabinet ventilation and proper cabling to terminals, and plan for space to accommodate the unit alongside any required cooling.
Ultra-low harmonic content minimizes distortion in the supply current, which helps improve overall power factor and reduce heating in electrical infrastructure. The integrated filter and control strategy lessen the burden on downstream transformers and feeders, leading to more stable motor operation, fewer outages, and more reliable process performance in applications like conveyors and pumps.
Yes. The ACS880-34 is designed for diverse applications including cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, pumps, and fans. Its compact form factor, built-in harmonic mitigation, and voltage/current ratings (315 kW, 690 V) make it well-suited for heavy industry environments in sectors like oil & gas, mining, metals, and pulp & paper.
The module is UL-listed for electrical safety and performance, with a focus on low harmonic compliance. This combination supports safety, reliability, and compatibility with common industrial controls environments. When designing for global markets, verify local CE and IP requirements in your region and ensure proper enclosure and cooling to align with site standards.
Maintenance is reduced due to fewer external filters and simplified wiring, thanks to the integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit. This simplifies service routines and lowers spare parts inventory. ROI stems from space savings, faster commissioning, and improved energy efficiency through better power factor and reduced harmonic distortion in motor-driven loads.
