FAQs
The ACS880-31 is designed for wall-mount installation in LV AC systems and supports compact retrofits due to its integrated line filter and compact footprint. For retrofits, verify existing cabinet space, confirm supply voltage (IEC 500 V) and current rating (14 A), and plan for compatible cabling and connector standards. Use ABB's commissioning tools to simplify parameter matching with existing motors and load profiles.
Key specs to confirm include IEC-rated power around 7.5 kW, current 14 A, and voltage up to 500 V. The UL-listed configuration supports up to 10 Hp at 480 V in the Pld branch. Additionally, ensure the drive’s low harmonic filter is engaged to minimize distortion and that the output voltage boost and power factor correction are configured for your load profile.
Yes. The ACS880-31 is engineered for critical, high-demand applications such as conveyors, pumps, and mixers in mining, metals, and chemicals. Its integrated low harmonic design helps maintain power quality in plants with long feeders and multiple motors, while built-in diagnostics support proactive maintenance in harsh environments.
This model features UL-listed safety compliance and integrated protective features, designed to meet global safety expectations for electrical drives. While users should verify local CE requirements and IP enclosure ratings for their specific installation, the drive’s built-in protections and diagnostics support regulatory alignment and safer operation.
By eliminating external harmonic filters, reducing cabinet complexity, and providing robust diagnostics, the drive lowers installation time, spare part counts, and maintenance frequency. The result is higher equipment uptime, improved energy efficiency, and a shorter payback period for projects in process industries such as food & beverage, wastewater, and material handling.
