FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the ABB ACS880 drive.

The ACS880 range covers an extremely wide power range, from 0.37 kW up to 3,200 kW depending on the module. INU modules (ACS880-104) go up to 3,200 kW, and liquid-cooled versions (ACS880-104LC) up to 3,000 kW at 690 V. This breadth makes it suitable for both small applications and large industrial installations.

The ACS880-01 is a compact IP20 wall-mount module with all essential features built in (harmonic choke, EMC filter, communication adapter). The ACS880-04 is a single drive module for customer cabinet integration, with side-by-side mounting to minimise space. The ACS880-104 is an inverter module (INU) for multidrive architectures with DC bus sharing, allowing multiple axes to be combined on a common supply.

DTC is ABB's patented technology for direct motor torque control. Unlike conventional drives that control frequency, DTC directly controls torque and magnetic flux, offering very fast dynamic response, high torque accuracy and optimal performance even without an encoder (open loop).

Yes, the ABB ACS880 is qualified and recommended with HYPERION X motors, particularly for high-power applications from 0.55 to 3,200 kW. Its DTC and advanced control capabilities make it an ideal partner for demanding high-speed applications.

The ACS880-34 is a special variant that generates a total harmonic distortion (THD) below 5% without requiring additional external filters. It is designed for environments where power network quality is critical, complying with the strictest network requirements.

Standard mounting (IP20) places the drive entirely inside the electrical cabinet. Flange mounting (suffix F) dissipates heat through the rear wall of the cabinet, with IP55 protection on the rear side. This reduces cabinet size and improves thermal dissipation without an additional active cooling system.

All ACS880 modules support PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP as options via communication adapters. PROFIsafe and CIP Safety are also available as options for applications requiring fieldbus safety functions.

The STO function is integrated as standard on all ACS880 modules. It safely removes motor torque, certified SIL3 per IEC 62061 and PL e per EN ISO 13849-1 — the highest safety level for industrial drives. It eliminates the need to cut the main supply to stop the motor safely.

Yes, the HES880 is a compact liquid-cooled solution specifically designed for harsh environments. Its reinforced industrial design makes it suitable for applications exposed to difficult conditions (humidity, dust, vibrations), with power up to 760 kW.
