It targets CE conformity, SIL-ready safety integration, and IP-rated options to support regulatory compliance in harsh environments. From oil and gas to food and beverage, the drive helps reduce electrical stress while improving efficiency and system reliability. By combining compact form with compatibility for common industrial control architectures, it speeds deployment and lowers total-cost-of-ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000120970 ABB: The ACS880-31 drives are customized to meet the particular needs of specific industries, such as oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, material handling, pulp and paper, sawmills, marine, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive. They can control a wide range of applications, including cranes, extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, centrifuges, test benches, elevators, extruders, pumps and fans. The compact ACS880-31 ultra-low harmonic drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content and exceeds the requirements set by low harmonic recommendations. The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction.
The ACS880-31 family integrates an active supply unit with a built-in low harmonic line filter, delivering ultra-low harmonic content. This improves power quality, eliminates the need for external filters, and lowers capital cost for conveyor, pump, and mixer installations. In terms of power, the unit supports Pn 11 kW at 25 A and 400 V, enabling robust control of medium to high torque loads. That precise, low-distortion control translates into smoother starts, reduced mechanical wear, and reliable operation in cranes, winders, conveyors, and fans. The drive is designed for diverse industries—from oil and gas to food and beverage—and can control cranes, winches, pumps, and fans. This broad compatibility reduces procurement complexity and simplifies installation across multi-line plants. Its compact, wall-mounted form simplifies installation in space-constrained plant rooms, while integrated features minimize wiring and enclosure footprint. The result is faster commissioning, proactive maintenance planning, and lower total installed cost. Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve motor efficiency and lessen demands on upstream electrical infrastructure. Customers realize energy savings, better process control, and improved readiness to accommodate regenerative or highly dynamic loads. Industry-specific customization supports sector needs such as pulp and paper, marine, and water treatment processes. With robust protections and low-harmonic performance, the drive enhances reliability and reduces maintenance interventions in harsh environments. This design supports easy retrofits in existing lines without extensive rewiring. Its compact footprint also simplifies cabinet space planning and reduces cooling load. This adaptability is ideal for mixed fleets where modernization occurs across multiple lines. Field-service engineers appreciate consistent control logic and quick diagnostic checks. The integration supports scalable energy strategies as plants expand capacity. ABB's long-term support ecosystem helps ensure maintenance planning and parts availability.
