Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000146192 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
Plan for standard drive cabinet integration with an IP54-rated enclosure. Ensure adequate ventilation, proper heat dissipation, and compliant wiring to main power and motor terminals. Leverage pre-configured configurations and ABB’s installation guidelines to minimize wiring complexity, avoid derating, and ensure clean grounding. Consider cabinet space and future expandability for additional I/O or protection features.
The drive delivers up to a 97% reduction in harmonic content compared with conventional drives, with typical THD under 3% in nominal operation. It complies with IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-2, IEC 61000-3-12, and EC 61000-3-4, providing robust network compliance, improved power quality, and reduced risk of equipment interference on shared electrical buses.
Yes. The IP54-enclosed ACS880-37 is designed for harsh industrial settings where dust, moisture, or washdowns are common. Its rugged construction supports continuous operation on conveyors, pumps, and fans, while harmonic control and PF correction help maintain stable motor performance and reduce energy losses in demanding applications.
You can rely on IEEE 519 and IEC 61000-3-2/3-12 for harmonic limits, EC 61000-3-4 for emission requirements, and CE marking for European compliance. The IP54 rating adds ingress protection suitable for challenging environments. ABB’s drive also aligns with standard motor control safety and protection features for industrial installations.
ROI comes from energy savings due to improved PF and reduced harmonic losses, plus lower downtime due to robust IP54 hardware and configuration flexibility. Maintenance benefits include standardized ABB parts, ease of diagnostics, and long-term support from ABB’s engineering services. The Order-Based Engineering option helps tailor maintenance-friendly configurations, reducing lifecycle costs.
