ABB 3AXD50000146055 ACS880-37 Drive - Ultra-low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AXD50000146055
Quick Summary
The ACS880-37 drive from ABB delivers ultra-low harmonic motor control for industrial fans, pumps, and conveyors. Harmonics can distort sensitive equipment and inflate energy costs, especially in networks with large motor loads; this drive mitigates distortion while preserving steady motor voltage and performance. It is designed to meet key standards such as IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, and IEC61000-3-4, with an IP54-rated enclosure that withstands harsh industrial environments. By combining harmonic suppression with network power factor correction, it enhances overall plant efficiency and reduces losses. Standard configurations accelerate deployment, while ABB’s Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific features to match exact process needs, improving reliability and return on investment.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146055 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
The ACS880-37 is designed for straightforward integration with typical 355 kW motors drawing up to 650 A. It supports standardized configurations and ABB’s commissioning guidance, enabling quick cabinet-based installations. Ensure cables meet the drive’s minimal impedance and follow ABB wiring diagrams for motor protection and safety interlocks to maximize reliability.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic content, with harmonic distortion typically under 3% THDi in nominal operation. This aligns with IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-4 requirements and reduces EMI, enabling cleaner power delivery to downstream equipment and less heat in the electrical network.
Yes. Its ultra-low harmonic design and IP54 enclosure make it well-suited for harsh, high-load environments such as compressors, mills, and process lines. The PF correction feature helps maintain voltage stability, improving overall plant efficiency and reducing power losses in loud, dynamic applications.
The drive is designed to conform with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-4, and related standards, supporting compliant motor control in facilities with strict power-quality requirements. The IP54 rating further supports environmental compliance by enabling reliable operation in dusty or damp industrial spaces.
By reducing harmonic losses and stabilizing power factor, the ACS880-37 lowers energy costs and improves system reliability, contributing to a favorable ROI over the system’s life. Its standardized configurations lower commissioning time, while ABB’s engineering services can tailor features to minimize maintenance complexity and extend service intervals.
