ABB LV AC drive 3ABD00046075-D - 315 kW, 585 A
Part Number: 3ABD00046075-D
Quick Summary
ABB LV AC drive enables efficient water and wastewater pumping with sensorless flow control. Operators often wrestle with wasted energy, pump wear, and integration complexity when adding drives to multi-pump systems. Important considerations include enclosure options like IP00 for cabinet installs and the available IP20 upgrade, plus standard industry verifications such as CE marking and SIL safety assessments to confirm suitability for this model. By pairing the device with ABB's Drive Composer and the optional Bluetooth control panel, you can accelerate deployment, simplify commissioning, and reduce lifecycle costs while getting more predictable pump performance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00046075-D ABB: The ACQ580-04 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 drive module has a 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 ACQ580-04 drive module comes in an IP00 enclosure as standard for cabinet installation. In addition, an IP20 enclosure is available.
Sensorless flow calculation eliminates the need for external flow sensors, reducing maintenance costs and failure points while maintaining accurate pump regulation for water and wastewater systems. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and improved system uptime, particularly in remote or hard-to-reach installations where sensor access is limited. Multipump control coordinates several pumps to match demand, minimizing cycling, reducing energy consumption, and prolonging pump life in municipal stations and industrial processing lines. Level control and dry-run protection safeguard pumps against dry operation, protecting bearings and seals and lowering unplanned downtime in fluctuating water levels. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize water hammer and pressure spikes, safeguarding pipelines, valves, and fittings while enabling smoother start-ups for large-capacity pumps. The built-in energy calculator visualizes potential energy savings, supporting better budgeting and justification for upgrades to plant managers and finance teams. Compatibility with Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel streamlines commissioning and remote diagnostics, delivering faster project timelines and easier ongoing maintenance. Industry context shows these features align with modern utilities’ goals of reliability, energy efficiency, and compliance, especially in regulated water treatment and municipal pumping applications.

FAQs
The 3ABD00046075-D is designed for cabinet mount in LV AC drive configurations and supports standard ABB control tools such as Drive Composer. It offers IP00 standard enclosures with IP20 upgrades, enabling straightforward integration into existing ABB systems and minimizing additional cabinet modifications. Before deployment, verify panel space, wiring ferrules, and control wiring compatibility to ensure a smooth upgrade path and consistent performance across multi-pump configurations.
Key specifications include a power rating of 315 kW and a maximum current of 585 A. It provides a low-voltage drive solution suitable for water and wastewater pumping, with IP00 enclosure by default and IP20 option available for more demanding cabinet environments. Core features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection, quick ramps, and an energy calculator for savings visualization.
Yes. The 3ABD00046075-D is specifically designed for water and wastewater pumping, offering pump-focused features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump coordination, and level control. Its robust protection functions and energy-saving tools address common utility demands, including preventing dry runs, reducing surge events, and optimizing energy use across municipal and industrial pump stations.
Important considerations include enclosure ratings (IP00 by default with IP20 option) and general industry verifications. While IP ratings are specified for this model, verify any additional certifications such as CE conformity or SIL safety assessments with ABB for this exact SKU to ensure alignment with your facility’s regulatory requirements and site standards.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump speed and reduced cycling, plus lower maintenance costs due to fewer external sensors and integrated protection features. Maintenance focus shifts toward periodic software updates via Drive Composer, battery-free fault logging, and routine inspections of pump interfaces. The energy calculator helps quantify savings to support ongoing justification and budgeting.
