Part Number: 3AXD50000146017
Quick Summary
ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive enables precise motor control for demanding manufacturing and process applications. Harmonics can distort sensitive equipment and increase energy losses, but this drive minimizes harmonic content while maintaining full motor voltage, helping you run larger loads more efficiently. It complies with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, and EC61000-3-4, and its IP54 enclosure protects the system in harsher environments. For you, the business value is clear: higher overall efficiency, reduced losses, and improved electrical reliability, with options for network power factor correction and configurable features to meet specific plant needs. This translates into measurable ROI through energy savings and reduced downtime. Manufacturers can deploy it with ABB's Order-Based Engineering for tailored configurations.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146017 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.

FAQs
Installation and compatibility for the ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive requires evaluating cabinet space and wiring, ensuring an IP54-rated enclosure if used in harsh environments, and coordinating with a 200 kW motor (PN) drawing 363 A (IN). Use standard ABB configurations or Order-Based Engineering for custom cabinets, and consider line filters and proper motor protection to simplify commissioning.
Key performance details highlight robust harmonic suppression and efficient motor drive operation. With PN 200 kW and IN 363 A, the ACS880-37 delivers typically less than 3% total harmonic current distortion and up to a 97% reduction compared with conventional drives. Its capability to correct network power factor further enhances energy efficiency and reduces utility penalties.
Application suitability for the ACS880-37 ultra-low harmonic drive spans heavy manufacturing, conveyors, pumps, and process lines where clean power and process stability matter. Its IP54-rated enclosure and configurable configurations support installation in challenging environments, while ABB’s engineering services help tailor the cabinet and control features to specific processes, minimizing risk during scale-up and maintenance.
Compliance and certifications are central to risk management. The ACS880-37 aligns with IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-12 (harmonics and emissions), EC61000-3-4 requirements, and includes an IP54-rated enclosure for rugged environments. These standards reduce regulatory concerns, support audit readiness, and enable predictable performance in regulated industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. This foundation accelerates project approvals and ensures compliant commissioning.
Support and ROI considerations for the ACS880-37 focus on predictable maintenance and energy savings. ABB offers engineering services for tailored configurations, spare parts, and remote diagnostics to minimize downtime. In practice, reduced harmonic losses, improved efficiency, and fewer process disturbances translate to measurable payback within months for motor-intensive lines. This makes it easier to justify capital expenditure with documented ROI.
