The ABB ACS880-37-0180A-5 (3AXD50000158126) is an active-production, 3-phase AC drive in an R8 frame, delivering 110 kW normal-use output at 180 A. It accepts 380–500 V input at 48–63 Hz and carries IP22 protection with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure — suited for panel-mount installations where the environment is controlled but not sealed.
Duty ratings and real-world headroom
Three duty curves are defined: normal-use (Pn 110 kW, In 180 A), light-overload (PlD 110 kW, IlD 171 A), and heavy-duty (PhD 90 kW, IhD 156 A). The heavy-duty current of 156 A matches the UL heavy-duty rating (125 Hp, 156 A), while the UL light-overload rating reaches 150 Hp at 180 A. For a 90 kW constant-torque load, the heavy-duty curve leaves headroom; for a variable-torque fan or pump at 110 kW, the normal-use curve applies.
The drive includes 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 7 digital inputs, and 5 digital outputs. Communication is via CAN; there is no onboard Industrial Ethernet interface. The control unit is included in the package. Two CR2032 lithium coin cells (3 V, 220 mAh each) back up the real-time clock and parameter storage.
Rated for a maximum 40 °C ambient, 1000 m altitude, and 5–95 % RH (non-condensing). Sound pressure is 70 dB(A). The SCIP number is 9ECED1FE-316A-4BF4-991E-2606BB5FE13A Finland, and the WEEE category is 4 (Large Equipment). Low-harmonic drives in this series are exempt from EU ecodesign requirements under Regulation EU/2019/1781 §2.3.d — energy-efficiency data is not provided.
