ABB 3AXD50000146000 ACS880-37 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive IP54
Part Number: 3AXD50000146000
Quick Summary
ACS880-37 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance for demanding manufacturing lines. Harmonics can distort power quality, cause excessive equipment wear, and waste energy when connected equipment shares a network. This drive reduces harmonic content by up to 97% compared with standard drives, typically delivering total harmonic current distortion under 3% in normal operation. IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4 and G5/4 compliance safeguard interfaces, protect sensitive loads, and support easier regulatory approval. By correcting network power factor and maintaining full motor voltage, it minimizes losses and improves system efficiency. The ACS880-37 is available in standardized configurations with flexible options, while ABB’s Order-Based Engineering can tailor features for specific installations, saving time and risk.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146000 ABB: Harmonic distortions can disturb or even damage sensitive equipment connected in the same environment. Harmonics also cause additional losses in the network. =20
The ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive produces exceptionally low harmonic content and exceeds the requirements of harmonic guidance/standards such as IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4 and G5/4. Compared to a conventional drive, the harmonic content is reduced by up to 97%. The total harmonic current distortion is typically <3% in a nominal situation and an undistorted network.
The drive offers the possibility for network power factor correction to compensate for the low power factors of equipment connected to the same network. Lower harmonics and full motor voltage at all times mean reduced system losses and better overall system efficiency.
The ACS880-37 comes with wide variety of standardized configurations for different application requirements, from line contactors, to preventing unexpected motor starts. If the application requires more, ABB=E2=80=99s Order-Based Engineering services can add special features to the standard product, such as an additional cabinet for customer-specific devices. The robust design and enclosures up to IP54 make the ACS880-37 suitable for even very harsh environments.
The ultra-low harmonic architecture minimizes distortion in the supply network, delivering measurable improvements in power quality and reducing equipment stress, leading to lower maintenance costs. This directly translates to higher equipment availability on critical lines like conveyors and pumps. The drive’s harmonic management, with typical THD under 3% and up to 97% reduction versus conventional drives, supports compliance with IEEE 519 and related EMC standards, reducing regulatory risk and sensor interference. IP54-rated enclosures and rugged construction enable reliable operation in dusty or humid environments, expanding installation options and reducing the need for additional protection. Standardized configurations simplify procurement and commissioning, while Order-Based Engineering offers tailored features for unique processes, shortening project timelines and improving ROI. Compatibility with ABB motor systems ensures seamless integration and predictable performance across industrial automation networks.

FAQs
The ACS880-37 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive is designed for seamless integration with ABB motors and standard AC drives in industrial lines. It supports standardized configurations and can be paired with ABB’s Order-Based Engineering to tailor options for specific installations. Typical commissioning uses standard three-phase mains and common fieldbus interfaces, reducing setup time and minimizing downtime.
You can expect total harmonic distortion typically under 3% in nominal operation, with harmonic reduction up to 97% compared with conventional drives. The solution is IEEE 519 compliant and aligned with EMC standards such as IEC61000-3-2 and related guidelines, helping to prevent interference with nearby equipment and streamlining regulatory documentation.
The IP54 enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, making the drive suitable for harsh environments common in manufacturing floors. During installation, ensure proper ventilation and cabling to maintain enclosure integrity, and plan for appropriate routing to minimize exposure to dust and moisture while maximizing accessibility for maintenance.
Applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans in automated lines benefit most, where power quality directly affects motor life and process stability. The low harmonic content improves efficiency and reduces auxiliary losses, while maintaining better power factor and smoother motor operation across variable loads.
ROI is driven by energy savings from improved efficiency, reduced motor wear, and easier commissioning through standardized configurations. ABB’s engineering services can tailor features to your process, reducing integration risk. Regular monitoring of harmonic levels and periodic maintenance ensure ongoing compliance and stable long-term performance, delivering predictable total cost of ownership.
