ACS880-31-156A-5 ABB 90kW Three Phase ABB ACS880 Variable Speed Drive
ABB ACS880-31-156A-5 low harmonic industrial drive, a 90 kW three phase AC variable frequency drive with integrated active front end and ultra-low harmonic technology for demanding industrial motor control applications.
Why Choose the ABB ACS880-31-156A-5 Low Harmonic Industrial Drive?
The ABB ACS880-31-156A-5 is a high-performance low harmonic 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 an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic filtering technology to minimise harmonic distortion while delivering reliable motor performance.
This compact wall-mounted drive eliminates the need for external harmonic filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. The integrated ultra-low harmonic design helps maintain a clean electrical network, improves system efficiency and protects sensitive equipment connected to the same power supply.
With a rated output power of 90 kW, a nominal output current of 156 A and a three-phase 380–500 V AC supply, the ACS880-31-156A-5 is ideal for pumps, compressors, conveyors, fans, mixers and other heavy-duty industrial applications where power quality is critical.
