Part Number: 3ABD00046079-D
Quick Summary
ABB LV AC drive module 3ABD00046079-D optimizes energy-efficient pumping in water and wastewater systems. Engineers face energy waste and pump wear when variable flows outpace traditional controls, driving higher operating costs. This drive module supports IP00 cabinet installation with IP20 option and includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level management, dry run protection, and quick ramps, all accessible via Hand-Off-Auto control and Drive Composer, with a Bluetooth option for remote diagnostics. By integrating an energy calculator, operators can quantify savings and justify capital costs, while ensuring reliable, compliant operation in municipal and industrial settings.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00046079-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.

FAQs
This module is designed for cabinet installation with an IP00 enclosure by default and IP20 as an option, allowing flexible integration within standard electrical rooms. Plan for adequate ventilation, cable management, and accessible control interfaces (H-O-A panel, Drive Composer). Verify clearances for service access and ensure proper radiator or enclosure cooling where required to maintain performance in water/wastewater facilities.
Sensorless flow calculation reduces the need for external flow meters, lowering CAPEX and maintenance while maintaining tight flow control. In practice, it enables accurate pump modulation, improves energy efficiency, and provides reliable feedback for level and demand management in pumping stations and treatment facilities.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation across multiple pumps to meet dynamic demand. This reduces cycling, balances duty across units, minimizes peak demand charges, and enhances system resilience in municipal pumping and wastewater lift stations.
The module provides IP ratings through its enclosure options (IP00 by default, IP20 available). For regulatory compliance beyond enclosure ratings, consult the product documentation for CE/UL/ULc or other regional certifications applicable to your installation, as these vary by region and specific model revisions. Always verify current certifications with your ABB representative before procurement.
ROI is driven by measurable energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced downtime due to dry run protection, and longer pump life from softened startups and reduced water hammer. Use the built-in energy calculator to model annual savings based on your flow profile, then factor in maintenance reductions and rapid commissioning with Drive Composer for an estimated payback period.
