FAQs
Install the ACQ531-01 in its IP20 wall-mounted enclosure next to the pump control cabinet, ensuring a proper 3-phase power supply capable of supporting up to 90 kW and 169 A input. Verify motor compatibility with the drive’s voltage and speed range, and configure the unit using the Drive Composer PC tool. If using optional peripherals, plan for Hand-Off-Auto panels or Bluetooth control for field service. Always follow ABB installation guidelines and local electrical codes.
Key performance specs include 90 kW output and 169 A input, IP20 protection, and wall-mount design for space efficiency. The built-in energy calculator helps monitor drive-driven energy use, while simple pump application functionality reduces commissioning risk. These features together support stable flow control in variable load conditions typical of water and wastewater pumping, improving overall system reliability.
Yes. The ACQ531-01 is designed for water and wastewater pumping scenarios, offering a compact wall-mounted form factor with IP20 protection and built-in pump-specific functionality. Its configurable controls, optional H-O-A panels, and remote tooling support make it well-suited for municipal booster stations, lift stations, and packaged pump skids where space and reliability are critical.
The product features an IP20 enclosure suitable for wall mounting, which aligns with common protection requirements for indoor electrical assemblies in pump rooms. For projects requiring formal certifications beyond IP protection, consult ABB documentation and local regulatory requirements to confirm CE/UL or other listings as applicable, since those certifications vary by region and configuration.
ROI benefits stem from energy savings enabled by the built-in energy calculator and efficient pump control, along with reduced commissioning time thanks to simple pump application functionality. Ongoing maintenance is facilitated by diagnostics-ready software, optional Drive Composer PC tool, and remote control options like Bluetooth. Together these features lower operating costs and improve uptime for water/wastewater pumping systems.
