Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000121205 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.
Integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter simplify installation by delivering a ready-made, compact drive package. This reduces BOM complexity and on-site wiring time while ensuring stable DC bus performance and cleaner line currents, improving compliance with electrical standards. In conveyors, cranes, and material-handling equipment, installers see faster commissioning and fewer field filter components to maintain. Output voltage boost and built-in power factor correction provide immediate efficiency gains and reduced peak currents. For pumps, fans, and extruders operating under variable loads, the drive maintains torque and speed with lower energy costs and improved power quality, helping facilities meet regulatory requirements without additional hardware. UL-listed safety and IEC-aligned performance offer confidence during qualification and system integration. The compact wall-mountable form factor makes retrofits and new installations straightforward in constrained plant spaces, while integrated features minimize enclosure footprint and wiring complexity. Designed for diverse industries—oil and gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, food and beverage, water and wastewater, and automotive—the ACS880-31 platform delivers consistent control across drives and machines. This reduces part numbers, simplifies maintenance, and enables standardized training for technicians, contributing to predictable uptime and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The 3AXD50000121205 is built around the ACS880-31 platform and supports integration with common LV drives in the same control ecosystem. It offers an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filter, reducing the need for external components. When upgrading, verify voltage references (IEC 500 V vs UL 480 V) and ensure wiring harness compatibility for a seamless retrofit.
Ideal for cranes, conveyors, pumps, and fans in mining, metals, cement, and bulk material handling. The drive’s ultra-low harmonic performance reduces electrical noise on long conveyor runs, while built-in power factor correction helps maintain grid quality. Its compact wall-mount design supports retrofit in existing plant rooms with limited space.
Yes. The drive is designed for ultra-low harmonic content and includes an integrated low harmonic line filter plus active supply unit. It provides voltage boost and power factor correction, delivering measurable energy efficiency gains and improved motor performance under variable loads, helping facilities meet internal standards and external regulations with fewer external components.
Wall-mounted installation reduces footprint in tight switchgear rooms and supports retrofits in aging facilities. Ensure adequate ventilation, access for maintenance, and proper clearance for wiring, heat dissipation, and service. The integration of a supply unit and filter minimizes external components, simplifying cable management and enclosure design.
The integrated filter and absence of several external components reduce installation time and BOM cost. Energy efficiency gains from power factor correction and voltage boost lower operating costs, while ultra-low harmonic content reduces wear on electrical infrastructure, translating to higher uptime and lower maintenance overhead across conveyors, pumps, and fans in demanding industries.
