ABB ACS880-31-038A-3 ultra-low harmonic industrial drive, an 18.5 kW, 38 A, 380–415 V three phase AC variable frequency drive designed for demanding industrial motor control applications requiring improved power quality.
The ABB ACS880-31-038A-3 (Product ID 3AXD50000121076) is a high-performance AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for demanding industrial applications requiring precise motor control and exceptional power quality. As part of the advanced ABB ACS880 industrial drive series, it combines ABB's proven motor control technology with integrated ultra-low harmonic functionality.
The ACS880-31 series is specifically engineered for applications where harmonic distortion must be minimised. Its integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filter eliminate the need for external harmonic mitigation equipment, helping reduce installation complexity while improving electrical network performance.
With a rated output power of 18.5 kW, a rated output current of 38 A and a three-phase 380–415 V AC supply, the ACS880-31-038A-3 is ideal for industrial applications such as cranes, conveyors, compressors, centrifuges, pumps, fans, winches and process machinery requiring efficient operation and low harmonic distortion.
Variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS880-31 regulate motor speed by controlling output voltage and frequency. The integrated low harmonic technology significantly reduces harmonic distortion on the electrical supply network while maintaining excellent motor performance and energy efficiency.
The ACS880-31 is designed for industries where power quality is critical. Its integrated active front-end design helps avoid the need for external harmonic filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers, simplifying installation and reducing total system complexity.
