ABB ACS880-31-021A-5 ultra-low harmonic AC variable frequency drive featuring 11 kW output power, 21 A output current and active front-end technology for superior power quality and industrial motor control.
The ABB ACS880-31-021A-5 (Part Number: 3AXD50000121038) is a high-performance ultra-low harmonic AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed and torque control of three-phase motors while maintaining exceptional power quality. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it incorporates active front-end technology to minimise harmonic distortion and improve electrical network performance.
Built on ABB's all-compatible drive platform, the ACS880-31 combines advanced motor control, integrated safety features and ultra-low harmonic operation in a compact wall-mounted package. The drive is designed for demanding industrial applications where compliance with harmonic standards, energy efficiency and reliable motor control are critical requirements.
With a rated output power of 11 kW, a nominal output current of 21 A and a three-phase 380–500 V AC supply, the ACS880-31-021A-5 is ideal for conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, cranes, mixers, test benches and other industrial applications requiring low harmonic distortion and high-performance motor control.
The ACS880-31 uses active front-end technology to minimise harmonic distortion generated by the drive. This helps maintain electrical network quality, reduces stress on transformers and generators, and supports compliance with harmonic recommendations without requiring large external harmonic mitigation equipment.
ABB’s Direct Torque Control technology provides fast and accurate motor control performance while maintaining high efficiency across a wide range of industrial applications. The drive is suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects where power quality and operational reliability are important considerations.
