FAQs
Yes. The 3AXD50000121236 is designed to align with ACS880-31 architectures, offering seamless integration of control signals, wiring topology, and protective features. This compatibility reduces retrofit risk, shortens commissioning time, and enables a smoother upgrade path for existing motor drives in conveyors, pumps, and material handling lines.
The drive supports up to 75 kW (Pn) and 124 A current at 500 V (IEC), with UL-rated 100 Hp at 480 V in the UL configuration. It is engineered to minimize harmonic content through an integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit, improving power quality and reducing distortion in sensitive equipment like pumps, fans, and metal processing lines.
Ideal for oil & gas, mining, metals, chemicals, cement, power plants, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and automotive sectors. Applications include cranes, conveyors, winches, winders, extruders, pumps, and fans. The drive’s low harmonic design and robust control support continuous operation in harsh environments with demanding process requirements.
Key safety and regulatory considerations include CE and UL safety approvals, with the drive designed to meet industrial safety expectations and power quality standards. For projects with strict regulatory mandates, verify your regional requirements and ensure the selected configuration aligns with your site-specific certification needs.
Customers typically see reduced maintenance due to integrated components (no external filters needed) and improved reliability from low harmonic operation. ROI is driven by energy savings from power factor correction, decreased downtime, and easier commissioning, especially in long-cycle production lines like conveyors, pumps, and material handling systems.
