ABB ACS880-01-040A-5

The ABB ACS880-01-040A-5 is a robust variable frequency drive designed for 3-phase power systems operating between 380 and 500 volts AC. Often called the ACS880 for short, this wall-mounted drive handles normal duty loads up to 30 HP at 40 amps and heavy duty applications up to 25 HP at 34 amps, making it a solid choice for a wide range of industrial motor control needs. Its NEMA 1 / IP21 enclosure provides reliable protection in typical indoor environments.

Measuring roughly 22.7 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 10.8 inches deep, the drive requires careful cabinet spacing—about 7.9 inches above and 11.8 inches below—for proper cooling, as it pulls around 79 CFM when running at full capacity. Keep in mind, this device isn’t to be used as a direct 3-phase power supply, and it’s recommended to pair it with Class T high-speed fuses rated at 60 amps for added safety.

Ideal for installations up to 3300 feet elevation and operating temperatures below 104°F, derating is necessary beyond those limits. An extended warranty and authorized startup support can be arranged, adding peace of mind during commissioning. BSP Automation offers this reliable ABB drive, ensuring you get solid support alongside quality gear that’s built to perform in demanding industrial settings.
