ABB 3AXD50000158072 Motors & Drives - IEEE 519 Compliance
Part Number: 3AXD50000158072
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000158072 ultra-low harmonic drive for motors delivers clean power and precise control in demanding industrial environments. Harmonics from traditional drives can disturb sensitive equipment and raise energy losses when multiple drives share a site. This solution aligns with IEEE 519 and IEC61000 standards, supporting IEC61000-3-2/3-12 and EC61000-3-4 compliance, and it offers IP54 ruggedization for harsh plants. Engineered for ABB ecosystem integration and a range of configurations, it helps reduce system losses, boost uptime, and enable power-factor correction across motor networks. Facilities with conveyors, pumps, and mixed-load lines can expect quieter starts, less electrical noise, and improved reliability. The result is measurable business value through improved efficiency, easier maintenance, and better total cost of ownership over the life of the installation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158072 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 3AXD50000158072 is designed to integrate with ABB drive families and ABB control architectures. Plan for 90 kW, 169 A input, ensure proper cabling, and verify cabinet space for the IP54-rated enclosure. Use ABB’s engineering guidelines to align interfaces, soft-start configurations, and safety interlocks, ensuring a smooth retrofit or new build with minimal commissioning risk.
Expect harmonic current distortion typically below 3% and substantial harmonic reduction—up to 97% versus conventional drives. These gains reduce interference with sensitive equipment, improve power factor, and lower network losses. Practical outcomes include quieter operation, extended motor life, and more predictable startup behavior in multi-drive installations.
Yes. The drive employs an IP54-rated enclosure suitable for dusty, humid, and tough industrial environments. This protection, combined with ABB's rugged design, translates to reduced dust ingress, fewer maintenance cycles, and higher uptime for plants with challenging floor conditions or outdoor sections.
The drive complies with IEEE 519, IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, and EC61000-3-4 harmonic standards. This ensures safe operation in networks with harmonic-sensitive equipment, supports grid-friendly power quality, and helps meet regulatory requirements in many industrial regions.
ROI is driven by energy savings from reduced harmonics and improved power factor, plus lower maintenance due to robust IP54 construction and fewer nuisance trips. The result is lower operating costs, higher uptime, and extended equipment life, leading to a shorter payback period in facilities with multiple drives on shared electrical networks.
