ABB ACS880-31 Drive 3AXD50000121274 - Ultra-low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AXD50000121274
Quick Summary
The ABB ACS880-31 drive is a wall-mounted LV AC drive for precise control in cranes, conveyors, and pumps. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, external filters, and integration gaps between new drives and legacy equipment. Two critical standards play a pivotal role in selection—CE compliance for European markets, and SIL readiness for safety-critical tasks, along with robust IP-rated protection in harsh environments. The integrated line filter, active supply unit, and power-factor correction help lower installation costs while delivering reliable performance; this aligns with the needs of industries like oil and gas, mining, and processing. For procurement teams, the compact footprint and broad application coverage translate to lower total cost of ownership and faster project ramp-ups in industrial automation programs.

FAQs
Begin with a suitable 3-phase 400 V supply and mount the drive in a compliant enclosure to avoid overheating. Connect the integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter, then wire fieldbus or I/O as required. Ensure adequate ventilation and the correct cable routing to minimize interference. Commission with standard ACS880 start-up procedures and verify motor protection settings for safe operation.
The ACS880-31 delivers exceptionally low harmonic content thanks to its integrated line filter and active supply unit, reducing the need for external harmonic mitigation devices. This enhances power quality, minimizes filter-related losses, and supports smoother operation of motors in cranes, conveyors, and pumps, even in systems with limited transformer capacity.
Yes. The drive is designed for heavy industry applications and broad motor control, including cranes, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, pumps, and fans. Its compact wall-mount form factor, integrated protections, and PF correction make it ideal for space-constrained, high-demand environments like oil & gas, mining, and chemicals.
Key considerations include CE compliance for European regions and SIL readiness for safety-critical tasks, along with appropriate IP protection for the installation environment. Always confirm the exact certification status with ABB for your region and ensure the drive configuration meets regional safety and electrical standards before deployment.
The integrated low harmonic filter and PF correction reduce external components and energy waste, lowering upfront and ongoing maintenance costs. The compact footprint speeds installation, while improved power quality and uptime decrease unplanned downtime, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in production lines such as processing, material handling, and water treatment.
