It adheres to key harmonic standards including IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, and IEC61000-3-12, and features an IP54-rated enclosure for tougher environments. With network power factor correction and scalable configurations, this drive helps you cut losses, improve motor efficiency, and simplify procurement and installation across multiple lineups.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146086 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 flexible installation with standard configurations and ABB Order-Based Engineering options for customization. It supports IP54-enclosed variants suitable for harsher environments and can be integrated with existing control cabinets, line contactors, and protection devices. When planning installation, verify compatible supply voltage, motor type, and cooling requirements to ensure optimal heat management and reliable commissioning.
The drive achieves exceptionally low harmonic content, with total harmonic current distortion typically below 3% in nominal operation. It adheres to key harmonic standards such as IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, and IEC61000-3-12, reducing disturbances to sensitive equipment and enabling smoother operation of connected motors and processes.
Industries with sensitive instrumentation or strict power quality requirements—such as pumps, conveyors, and fans in manufacturing, packaging, and process plants—benefit most. The drive’s low harmonic profile helps prevent interference, lowers system losses, and supports energy efficiency goals across large motor driven systems.
Key considerations include compliance with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12 for harmonic control and the IP54-rated enclosure for rugged environments. While additional regional certifications like CE are common in Europe, the discussed standards ensure reliable power quality, interoperability with protective devices, and suitability for industrial environments.
ROI comes from reduced energy losses, lower reactive power charges due to network power factor correction, and extended motor life from cleaner power. ABB’s configuration options also shrink commissioning time and retrofit costs, while the rugged IP54 design lowers enclosure-related maintenance. Ongoing support includes diagnostics, software updates, and engineering services for tailored feature sets.
