ACS880-01-038A-3 18.5kW Industrial Drive 400V IP21 R3 DTC | ABB

The Original New ABB ACS880-01-038A-3 (3ABD00035968-D) is an 18.5 kW (25 HP) high-performance industrial drive from the ABB ACS880 series, engineered for demanding motor control applications across a wide range of heavy-duty process and automation environments. Rated at 38 A with a 380–415 V three-phase input, this wall-mounted drive delivers precise speed and torque regulation using ABB's patented Direct Torque Control (DTC) technology. Featuring an IP21 enclosure, integrated EMC filter, built-in brake chopper, and Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function as standard, the ACS880-01-038A-3 provides a robust, flexible, and energy-efficient solution for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, mixers, cranes, extruders, and other industrial machinery.
