Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00048729-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.
Sensorless flow calculation enables precise pump speed without external sensors, reducing installation time and maintenance costs while delivering accurate flow control in variable demand scenarios. This translates to energy efficiency and reduced wear in wastewater pumps and water supply systems, improving reliability and lowering operating expenses. Multipump control and level management coordinate multiple units to prevent short cycling and overpumping, which cuts energy waste and extends pump life in tank basins and lift stations. Soft pipe fill and soft-start ramps minimize pressure surges, protecting piping networks and reducing mechanical stress on valves and joints. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings opportunities, while Drive Composer and the optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning, parameter tuning, and remote diagnostics, delivering faster project ROI and easier field service. The wall-mounted, compact footprint simplifies integration with existing ABB drives and PLCs, enabling a scalable upgrade path for municipal water plants and industrial process water applications. IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 option adds installation flexibility, supporting preventive maintenance and long-term reliability in confined spaces.

FAQs
Install the ABB 3ABD00048729-D as a wall-mounted LV drive with sufficient clearance for heat dissipation and access. Use the IP21 enclosure by default, and consider the IP55 option for harsher environments. Position the drive near the pump controls, and integrate with the Hand-Off-Auto panel for easy operation. Ensure proper wiring separation from high-power lines and follow local electrical codes during commissioning. The Drive Composer tool simplifies configuration, but verify motor parameters, pump curve, and protection settings prior to start-up.
The device delivers 3 kW of motor power with a maximum current of 7.2 A. It features sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, and quick ramps to minimize start-up surges. The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 and flange mounting available as options. The unit supports intuitive control via Hand-Off-Auto and can be configured through Drive Composer, with optional Bluetooth for field service.
Yes, this drive is designed to integrate with ABB pump solutions and standard control architectures. The built-in energy calculator and Drive Composer tooling facilitate seamless parameterization and ramping to match pump curves. For fieldbus or PLC integration, verify compatible communication interfaces and ensure motor and pump protection settings align with existing PLC logic and safety standards. The compact, wall-mounted form factor also supports retrofits in space-constrained installations.
The drive comes with an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 options available for more demanding environments, including harsher water/wastewater applications. Protective features include dry-run protection to prevent motor damage during lift or stop events, and sensorless flow control to reduce sensor maintenance needs. The combination of IP ratings and protective functions helps maintain reliability, reduce downtime, and support regulatory compliance in municipal and industrial settings.
Deploying the ABB 3ABD00048729-D typically yields a favorable ROI through energy savings from optimized pump operation, reduced wear from soft-start and ramp control, and fewer sensor maintenance requirements due to sensorless flow calculation. The built-in energy calculator quantifies savings, while remote tooling like Drive Composer accelerates commissioning and ongoing tuning. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs, extended pump life, and improved system reliability for water treatment plants and wastewater facilities.
