Harmonics from traditional drives can cause overheating, signal disruption, and higher energy losses; this drive reduces harmonic content by up to 97% and aligns with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12 and EC61000-3-4 standards. With an IP54-rated enclosure and configurable options, it supports rugged installations while enabling network power factor correction. The result is improved reliability, lower operating costs, and a smoother path to compliance across your plant for better overall efficiency.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146161 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.
Ultra-low harmonic performance: The ACS880-37 design delivers THDI typically under 3% and reduces harmonic content by up to 97% compared with conventional drives. Business impact: lower EMI, less interference with sensitive equipment, and reduced losses across the drive network. Application: factories with PLCs, robotics, and instrumentation that require clean power and stable operation. Network power factor correction: The drive can compensate for low power factors on connected equipment, boosting overall system efficiency and reducing utility penalties. Application: multi-load plants where improving PF translates to tangible energy savings. Standardized configurations and modular options: A broad set of pre-engineered configurations minimizes external components and simplifies installation, while Order-Based Engineering services add customer-specific devices when required. Application: rapid deployment in mixed-line environments and bespoke automation cells. IP54 rugged enclosure and robust construction: This design withstands harsh factory floors and outdoor-adjacent installations. Business value: reduced maintenance, longer equipment life, and fewer enclosure-related complaints. Compatibility and installation advantages: Clear interfaces and pre-wired options enable easier integration with existing drives and motor systems, reducing commissioning time. Application: retrofit projects and greenfield lines seeking proven ABB interoperability. Industry context: leveraging ACS880s standardized configurations helps OEMs meet batch-to-batch consistency, quality control targets, and uptime KPIs.

FAQs
For retrofits, plan space for the IP54 enclosure and the drive's standard configurations to minimize external components. Verify compatible motor ratings and control interfaces, and leverage the drive's pre-configured options to reduce commissioning time. The Order-Based Engineering service can tailor protections and device cabinets to fit existing layouts and harsh environments.
The drive delivers harmonic content reduction up to 97% versus conventional drives, with typical total harmonic distortion (THDI) under 3%. It is rated for PN 250 kW and IN 271 A, and it supports network power factor correction to improve overall efficiency and reduce reactive power losses in the plant.
Yes. The ultra-low harmonic performance aligns with IEEE 519 and IEC61000-3-2/3-12 standards, significantly reducing disturbance to PLCs, robotics, and other sensitive equipment. Its low harmonic content and robust enclosure help maintain reliable operation in automated cell lines and complex control architectures.
The ACS880 drive complies with harmonic standards IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, EC61000-3-4, and G5/4, and it features an IP54 enclosure rating for rugged environments. These attributes support compliant operation in demanding industrial settings and provide resilience against dust and moisture ingress.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings via improved power factor and reduced harmonic losses, lower maintenance due to a rugged IP54 design, and faster time-to-value from standardized configurations. The drive also enables better process reliability and longer equipment life, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
