Introduction to the manual 27 Term/ Explanation Abbreviation Inverter unit The part of the drive that converts DC to AC for the motor. Consists of one or more inverter modules and their auxiliary components. The inverter unit is also capable of feeding energy from a decelerating motor into the DC link.
This chapter briefly describes the operation principle and construction of the drive. Operation principle The ACS880-37 is a low-harmonic, air-cooled, cabinet-installed drive for controlling asynchronous AC induction motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, AC induction servomotors and ABB synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motors.
ACS880-37 supply module only. For example, a module with +N8201 cannot be used as an inverter module. On the other hand, it is possible to use a module without +N8201 as a spare part for an ACS880-37 supply module as long as the types of the modules are otherwise the same.
*Main contactor [Q2] *With drive types ACS880-37-1210A-3, -1430A-3, -1530A-5, -1450-7 and -1680-7, these items can be replaced by an air circuit breaker [Q1] by selecting option +F255. Larger drive types have an air circuit breaker as standard equipment. Drives with an air circuit breaker have AC fuses only at the input of each LCL filter.
