ABB 3AXD50000121267 Motors & Drives - Ultra-low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AXD50000121267
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000121267 drives provide precise, low-harmonic motor control for industrial processes. Harmonic distortion and poor power quality can shorten equipment life and raise maintenance costs. UL-listed configuration supports up to 90 kW and 156 A at 500 V, with an integrated low harmonic line filter for simplified installs. In practice, this enables energy efficiency improvements, reliable performance, and easier compliance with industry standards, helping engineers streamline automation projects and reduce total cost of ownership. This aligns with broader industrial automation goals and energy-management initiatives for engineers and procurement teams.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000121267 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.
Ultra-low harmonic design with integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter reduces harmonic distortion at the source, eliminating the need for external filters and reducing installation complexity. This translates to fewer components, lower footprint, and faster commissioning, which is especially valuable in space-constrained control rooms and on crowded factory floors. The business impact is measurable: improved power quality, reduced cable runs, and lower maintenance costs, enabling longer asset life for conveyors, cranes, pumps, and fans. In practice, you can deploy ACS880-31-156A-5 in heavy-duty applications with confidence that power quality will not compromise process stability or control accuracy, supporting energy-management initiatives and plant-wide reliability targets. Compatibility with standard industrial wiring at 500 V and current ratings around 156 A makes it straightforward to retrofit existing lines or expand capacity in aging facilities. Operators also gain from integrated protection features and simplified spare-part management, which lowers total ownership costs while maintaining uptime in critical processes. The drive’s compact footprint and integrated unit reduce cabinet space requirements, enabling more flexible layouts in multi-line configurations and retrofits for material handling, cement plants, and pulp & paper mills. Industry-specific configurations for oil & gas, mining, chemicals, and water-treatment environments are supported by robust control algorithms that maintain torque and speed under variable loads, delivering consistent throughput and reduced energy waste.

FAQs
When deploying the ACS880-31-156A-5, plan for its integrated active supply unit and built-in low harmonic line filter to minimize external components. Ensure the 500 V supply, 156 A current rating, and the 90 kW power level align with your motor load, and provide adequate cabinet space for the drive’s footprint. Account for cooling and ventilation in enclosed spaces to sustain performance in hot industrial environments.
The ACS880-31-156A-5 is designed for harsh, demanding environments typical of oil & gas and mining. Its ultra-low harmonic operation reduces power quality issues that can affect process control, while the integrated filter and compact form factor simplify rugged installations. With industry-specific control algorithms and robust protection, it supports conveyors, cranes, pumps, and crushers with reliable torque and speed regulation.
The built-in low harmonic line filter minimizes harmonic distortion at the source, improving system power quality and reducing the need for external PQ solutions. This leads to calmer electrical networks, fewer nuisance trips, and easier compliance with utility and plant standards. For end users, the result is steadier motor control, reduced electrical stress, and longer drive life in critical systems.
Energy efficiency comes from features such as output voltage boost and power factor correction, which optimize motor performance under varying loads. Expect smoother starts, better drive efficiency, and reduced energy consumption in pumping, fans, and material-handling applications. These benefits translate to lower operating costs and improved throughput in continuous-process environments.
This ABB ACS880-31-156A-5 drive is UL-listed for safety and reliability in industrial settings, with design features that support compliant operation in harsh environments. While specific CE or IP ratings may depend on the configured enclosure and market, the drive’s low harmonic performance and integrated protection help meet common regulatory expectations for modern automation systems.
