ABB ACS880-01-077A-5

The ABB ACS880-01-077A-5 is a reliable variable frequency drive designed for 3-phase AC supply voltages ranging from 380 to 500 volts. This wall-mountable drive is built to handle normal duty loads up to 60 HP at 77 amps, and heavy duty loads up to 50 HP at 65 amps, making it a solid choice for various industrial applications. Housed in a NEMA 1 / IP21 rated enclosure with a compact frame size (R5), its dimensions and weight (about 51 pounds) allow for straightforward installation in tight control cabinets, though you’ll want to keep clearance above and below for proper ventilation.

Cooling is achieved with a 165 CFM airflow requirement, consuming around 1120 watts, so adequate airflow must be ensured, especially in setups above 3300 feet elevation or operating temperatures exceeding 104°F, where deratings come into play. Keep in mind, this device isn’t meant to function as a three-phase power source. For protection, it’s recommended to use Class T high-speed fuses rated at 110 amps.

BSP Automation distributes the ACS880-01-077A-5, offering access to extended warranty options when paired with authorized startup services. This drive is a tried-and-true workhorse for anyone needing efficient motor control without fuss—definitely a smart pick for your automation lineup.
