Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001057640 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 content reduces network distortion, delivering a THDI typically under 3% and up to 97% harmonic reduction versus conventional drives. This improves machine reliability and reduces heat losses in the supply network, especially in facilities with sensitive electronics. Network power factor correction is an available capability that helps compensate for low loads on the same electrical network. The business impact is lower utility penalties, improved energy efficiency, and cleaner power delivery to motors, which reduces overheating and long-term maintenance. Standardized configurations cover a broad set of common applications, from line contactors to anti-start features, while Order-Based Engineering enables customer-specific devices in the same family. IP54-rated rugged enclosures make this drive suitable for harsh environments, reducing ingress risk and enabling longer intervals between maintenance. Installation is streamlined because ABB designs can drop into existing cabinets with minimal rewiring. Compatibility with existing ABB ACS880 systems and cabinet architectures speeds up installation and reduces training needs for technicians. The result is faster project delivery, predictable performance, and lower total cost of ownership. Efficiency and reliability gains are measurable across typical mid-to-high power applications. By delivering full motor voltage with minimized distortion, the drive reduces motor overheating and improves overall system efficiency, translating into lower energy costs over the plant’s lifetime. In conveyors, fans, and pumps, these improvements compound with every operating hour. Installation and maintenance are simplified through factory-installed configurations and cabinet compatibility. The standardized approach minimizes field engineering, reduces commissioning time, and lowers the risk of mis-wiring. For service teams, the ability to swap in an order-based feature-set without redesigning the control cabinet is a meaningful cost saver. Compliance and risk mitigation: The device’s adherence to IEEE 519 and IEC standards keeps regulatory audits smooth and helps avoid penalties from utility and grid operators. The IP54 rating also provides confidence in dusty or humid environments common to manufacturing floors.
