FAQs
The drive is designed for wall mounting with a 3-phase supply and fits standard electrical cabinets. Use Drive Composer for parameter setup, verify the IP21 enclosure suitability, and consider the optional IP55 flange mounting if exposure is higher. Confirm motor current, fault settings, and pump sequencing to ensure proper multipump operation.
Sensorless flow calculation optimizes pump speed directly from motor performance and process variables, reducing sensor installation costs, minimizing calibration time, and delivering measurable energy savings while maintaining precise flow control for water and wastewater applications.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-169A drive is offered with IP21 as standard and IP55 mounting options are available, along with flange mounting units, to suit more demanding indoor or outdoor installations and simplify integration in retrofit projects.
Dry-run protection detects when a pump is not primed or running dry, preventing motor damage, reducing unplanned maintenance, and extending pump life, which is especially valuable in wastewater handling where suction conditions can vary.
The energy calculator enables rapid visualization of energy savings from speed modulation and efficient pump sequencing, supporting ROI analyses. Quick ramps reduce inrush and wear during starts, lowering maintenance costs and improving overall plant uptime.
