ABB ACS880 AC Drive (ACS880-01) – Industrial All-Purpose VFD – 34A

The ABB ACS880 AC Drive (ACS880-01-034A-5) is a high-performance variable frequency drive in ABB's versatile ACS880 series, designed for industrial all-purpose motor control applications. This standalone low-voltage VFD is rated for 34 A output current, supporting approximately 25 HP (18.5 kW) motor power in normal duty and 20 HP (15 kW) in heavy duty at 480V supply. The ACS880 series drives offer ABB's Direct Torque Control (DTC) for precise motor control, supporting various motor types including induction motors and permanent magnet motors. The modular design allows for flexible configuration and easy maintenance. This wall-mounted, IP21-enclosed drive operates on 3-phase supply voltages of 380–480 VAC (500 V class) and features an integrated LCD control panel with USB interface for easy programming and monitoring. Built-in features include safe torque off (STO, SIL3) as standard for enhanced safety, a built-in brake chopper for dynamic braking, and an AC choke for harmonic filtering. The drive has a compact form factor (approx. 6.7 in wide × 18.5 in tall × 10.3 in deep) with dual cooling fans and coated boards for reliability in harsh industrial environments. With extensive connectivity including two expansion slots for I/O or fieldbus modules, the ACS880-01-034A-5 supports various communication protocols including Modbus, Profibus, and Ethernet. This flexible solution is ideal for heavy-duty applications like cranes, extruders, winders, pumps, fans, and conveyors requiring precise speed and torque control. The drive provides advanced motor protection, programmable logic functions, and energy optimization features, making it suitable for demanding industrial automation applications where reliability and performance are critical.
