Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158102 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.
The Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive reduces harmonic content at the source, delivering a measurable decrease in total harmonic distortion (THDi) and smoother voltage waveforms across the motor. Business impact: improved motor life, reduced peak currents, and lower energy losses, especially on networks with mixed loads such as conveyors and fans. Application: ideal for shared electrical systems in steel, mining, and process industries where harmonics threaten downstream equipment and uptime. The drive also offers configurable line-side protections and standardized configurations to accelerate installation and commissioning, reducing project risk and shortening time-to-performance. It supports network power factor correction to further optimize energy use, translating into lower utility costs and improved facility efficiency. Industry context: engineers rely on ABB's Order-Based Engineering services to tailor the drive for custom cabinets or safety interlocks, avoiding costly field modifications. Long-tail keywords integrated include ultra-low harmonic motor drive, IEEE 519 compliant drive, IP54 enclosure drives, and power factor correction drives. Compatibility and installation advantages mean fewer cabinet changes and simpler retrofits in existing control rooms, while robust protection features address common objections about harsh environments. Overall, the ACS880-37-0124A-5 delivers reliability, ease of integration, and measurable ROI for critical mechanical loads.
