ABB 3AXD50000121083 LV AC drive - Ultra-low harmonic
Part Number: 3AXD50000121083
Quick Summary
ABB ACS880-31 drive is a LV AC industrial drive delivering precise motor control for heavy industry. It addresses a common pain point—harmonic distortion and bulky installations—by integrating a low-harmonic filter into a compact, wall-mountable package. The solution is UL-listed and designed around IEC-based performance, with an active supply unit, integrated low-harmonic line filter, and built-in power factor correction. For engineers and procurement teams, this simplifies commissioning, reduces external components, and enables smaller panels. The combination supports energy efficiency and reliability across applications like conveyors, pumps, and material-handling equipment, while aligning with key industry standards.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000121083 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.

FAQs
The ACS880-31 is designed for LV AC motors up to 22 kW and 40 A, with a compact, wall-mounted form factor that simplifies retrofits and new builds. It supports standard motor types used in industrial automation and integrates with common ABB and third-party motor control schemes, reducing panel depth and wiring complexity. Always verify motor insulation class, encoder interface, and control wiring compatibility during commissioning.
The drive includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and active supply unit to minimize harmonic content, reducing demand on external filters and transformers. This improves power quality, lowers peak current, enhances PF correction, and yields measurable energy efficiency gains during variable-speed operation of pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Industries such as oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power generation, material handling, pulp and paper, marine, water/wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive benefit from the drive's low-harmonic performance, compact footprint, and robust protection features. Typical applications include cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, pumps, fans, extruders, and compressors.
This model is UL-listed, with IEC-based performance specifications guiding its interoperability in industrial environments. When planning qualification for regulated facilities, verify the UL safety listing and ensure system-level CE marking or local regulatory compliance as required by the installation site and industry sector.
By integrating the active supply unit, low-harmonic filter, PF correction, and protection features, the drive reduces external hardware, panel space, and maintenance needs. The resulting energy efficiency, smoother motor performance, and easier commissioning translate to lower total cost of ownership and faster project payback across continuous-running applications.
