Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000121106 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: Ultra-low harmonic output with integrated low harmonic line filter reduces harmonic distortion and eliminates the need for external filters or complex multi-pulse arrangements, cutting BOM and installation time for paper mills, metals processing, and water treatment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Active supply unit and output voltage boost with power factor correction improve motor efficiency and drive response, delivering energy savings in pumps, fans, and conveyors across oil & gas, mining, and chemicals sectors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact wall-mounted design saves valuable floor space in retrofit projects and new installations, accelerating integration in automation cells and material handling lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Widest voltage compatibility (Pn 30 kW, 52 A, 500 V; UL 40 Hp, 52 A, 480 V) supports quick deployment in mixed-voltage facilities, reducing the need for transformers and enabling simpler commissioning. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Integrated protection and filter architecture lowers maintenance costs and enhances reliability in cranes, winches, extruders, and centrifuges, addressing common objections about extra components and spare parts. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Industry-ready features and certifications contribute to faster regulatory compliance and safer operation, improving ROI in continuous production environments such as power plants and automotive assembly lines.
