Why Choose the ABB ACS880-31-017A-3 Ultra-Low Harmonic Industrial Drive?

The ABB 3AXD50000121021, type designation ACS880-31-017A-3, is a high-performance ultra-low harmonic industrial variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise control of three-phase motors while minimising harmonic distortion on the electrical network. Part of ABB's ACS880 industrial drive family, it combines advanced motor control with an integrated active supply unit and low-harmonic line filtering in a compact wall-mounted package.

With a nominal motor power rating of 7.5 kW and nominal output current of 17 A at 400 V, the ACS880-31-017A-3 is suitable for industrial applications where both accurate motor control and improved power quality are important. The drive operates within the 380–415 V AC three-phase voltage class and uses ABB's Direct Torque Control (DTC) technology for responsive speed and torque regulation.

Unlike conventional diode-front-end drives, the ACS880-31 incorporates an active supply unit and integrated low-harmonic filter. This architecture typically achieves total harmonic current distortion below 3% under nominal conditions with an undistorted supply network, reducing the need for external harmonic filters, multi-pulse arrangements or specialised transformers.

Key Advantages

  • ABB ACS880 ultra-low harmonic industrial drive.
  • 7.5 kW nominal motor power at 400 V.
  • 17 A nominal output current.

Ultra-Low Harmonic Motor Control for Industrial Automation

Variable frequency drives can introduce harmonic currents into an electrical network as they convert incoming AC power for variable-speed motor operation. The ABB ACS880-31 addresses this challenge with an integrated active supply unit and low-harmonic filtering, providing substantially lower harmonic distortion than conventional drive architectures without requiring separate external harmonic-filter equipment.

Alongside its power-quality benefits, the ACS880-31 uses ABB's Direct Torque Control technology for accurate motor control and incorporates the safety and automation capabilities of the wider ACS880 platform. The ACS880-31-017A-3 therefore provides a compact solution for 7.5 kW applications where precise motor operation, low harmonics and straightforward system integration are required.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial pumps and pumping systems.
  • Fans, blowers and ventilation equipment.
  • Compressors and process machinery.
  • Conveyors and material-handling systems.
  • Mixers and agitators.
  • Water and wastewater treatment equipment.
  • Industrial production machinery.
  • Process plants with stringent power-quality requirements.
  • Installations containing sensitive electrical equipment.
  • Industrial automation systems where low harmonic distortion is required.
