Part Number: 3AXD50000121052
Quick Summary
ACS880-31 drives deliver precise motor control for industrial applications such as conveyors and pumps. Engineers often wrestle with harmonic distortion, external filtering, and integration with legacy controls, which can drive up installation time and total cost of ownership. This drive family is designed with CE safety alignment, SIL-ready considerations, and enclosure protection options to fit harsh plant environments. Built-in active supply units and an integrated low harmonic line filter help reduce system complexity while improving power quality. By combining compact form with robust protection, these drives support energy efficiency, easier maintenance, and faster commissioning, delivering tangible value for automation projects across process, material handling, and manufacturing operations.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000121052 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACS880-31 ultralow harmonic drive integrates an active supply unit and a low harmonic line filter, reducing the need for external filters and complex multi-pulse arrangements, which lowers upfront costs and accelerates installation in new lines or retrofits for pumps, fans, and conveyors. This directly improves power quality and reduces commissioning risk, enabling smoother operation in oil and gas processing and mining material handling. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 15 kW, 32 A, 400 V rating provides scalable motor control for mid-range hydraulics and machinery, ensuring consistent torque and speed under variable loads, which translates to energy savings and longer equipment life in extrusion lines or rolling mills. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wall-mounted configuration saves footprint in compact control rooms and hazardous environments, improving maintenance accessibility and reducing enclosure space requirements in chemical plants and shipyards. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Integrated low harmonic technology suppresses waveform distortion at source, supporting compliance with grid harmony standards and reducing the risk of electrical interference in cranes, lifts, and material handling systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive’s versatility across cranes, winches, compressors, and centrifuges enables one platform to cover multiple workflows, decreasing spare-part inventory and simplifying procurement for OEMs and EPCs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact, industry-ready solution reduces installation time for retrofits and new builds, delivering faster time-to-value in automotive manufacturing and water treatment facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Industry-grade reliability and safety integration help address maintenance downtime and regulatory audits, supporting long-term TCO reductions and predictable plant performance.

FAQs
The ACS880-31 is designed for straightforward wall-mount installation with an integrated supply unit and low harmonic filter, minimizing external components. Start with mechanical and electrical enclosure checks, connect to the 400 V three-phase network, and integrate with your existing PLC using standard fieldbus interfaces. Use the drive’s built-in commissioning wizard to verify motor parameters and torque curves, which reduces startup time and risks during retrofit projects.
Key specs include 15 kW nominal power, 32 A current, and 400 V operation for three-phase motors. The ACS880-31 family excels in applications like conveyors, pumps, fans, cranes, and winches, where precise speed control and low harmonic distortion improve process stability, energy efficiency, and machine uptime in manufacturing, mining, and material handling environments.
This drive is well suited for oil and gas processing, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, and automotive facilities, as well as water/wastewater, food and beverage, and marine applications. Its low harmonic design and integrated filter support compliant operation in sensitive electrical networks, while its compact form fits compact control rooms and harsh environments.
The ACS880-31 family is designed to meet CE safety standards and industry norms, with features supporting SIL-ready operation and configurable protection levels. Certification specifics may vary by configuration and enclosure, so verify enclosure IP rating and control cabinet compliance with your plant's regulatory requirements during procurement and installation.
By eliminating multiple external filters and reducing harmonic distortion at the source, the drive lowers capex and simplifies maintenance. The integrated components shorten commissioning time, improve energy efficiency, and enhance plant reliability, delivering measurable ROI through reduced downtime, lower energy costs, and fewer spare parts for mid-range motor control in automated lines.
