ABB 3ABD00046043-D LV AC drive - 132 kW IP21
Part Number: 3ABD00046043-D
Quick Summary
ABB 3ABD00046043-D LV AC drive is a compact wall-mounted controller for water and wastewater pumping. Operators face energy waste, unstable flow, and downtime from dry-run events, all of which increase operating costs. This drive ships with IP21 protection by default and offers IP55 variants, plus wall-mount convenience to simplify installation in compact pump rooms. It includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and a built-in energy calculator to visualize savings. When paired with the Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth control, you get a streamlined commissioning process, reduced wiring, and measurable efficiency gains for municipal or industrial pumping systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00046043-D ABB: The ACQ580-01 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. This robust and compact wall-mounted drive has built-in pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and a solution for keeping the impeller of the pump clean. Usability is further enhanced with the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, the PC tool Drive composer and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ580-01 variant comes in an IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. In addition, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.

FAQs
Plan for a wall-mounted installation using the standard IP21 enclosure, with IP55 options available for harsher environments. Ensure space for adequate cooling and access to the Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth panel. Use the recommended wiring and shielded cables to minimize EMI and achieve reliable sensorless flow control and multi-pump operation.
Sensorless flow calculation enables accurate flow estimation without external sensors, reducing hardware costs and maintenance. This improves control accuracy, enables quicker start/stop sequences, and supports energy-efficient variable-speed operation across variable head conditions, which is especially valuable in municipal water supply and wastewater pumping where consistency matters.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-based solution includes multipump control and level management to synchronize multiple pumps, optimize staging, and prevent excessive cycling. This is particularly advantageous for stations with variable inflow, enabling smooth transitions and reduced wear while maintaining target pressure or level setpoints.
The standard IP21 enclosure provides basic protection, with IP55 and flange mounting variants available for enhanced protection against dust and water ingress. This helps maintain reliability in damp pump rooms and outdoor-adjacent installations, ensuring continued operation in challenging sites.
Deploying this drive can lower energy consumption through optimized pump control and early fault protection. Built-in features such as dry run protection and impeller-cleaning strategies reduce wear and maintenance intervals. The onboard energy calculator and remote commissioning tools shorten project timelines, delivering faster payback and lower lifecycle costs.
