Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00049818 ABB: The ACQ531-01 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 simple pump application functionality. Usability is further enhanced with the optional 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 ACQ531-01 variant comes in an IP20 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall.
Built-in pump application features streamline control and reduce external hardware. By embedding pump-specific logic, the ACQ531-01 delivers smoother start-stop sequences and optimized flow, lowering wear on pumps and reducing maintenance costs. This is ideal for municipal and industrial pumping stations where reliability and uptime are critical. Energy calculator visualization translates operating data into tangible savings. Facilities can model idle losses, optimize head pressure, and quantify kWh reductions before committing to retrofits. Coupled with accurate motor current (IN: 2.6 A) and power rating (0.75 kW) specs, engineers can justify energy-performance improvements in annual budgets. Compact, indoor-friendly IP20 enclosure supports simple wall mounting and space savings. This design reduces installation time and permits easier retrofit into existing plant rooms. The robust housing protects electronics in clean water environments, while the compact footprint suits new-build pump rooms. Optional Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Bluetooth panel, and Drive Composer PC tool extend control flexibility. Operators can configure setpoints, monitor performance, and perform maintenance tasks without specialist trips, improving uptime. The built-in compatibility with ABB ecosystem enables seamless integration with other ABB drives and sensors. Designed for water and wastewater pumping, this drive is compatible with standard ABB motor sizing and simplifies commissioning, start-up, and firmware updates. The energy calculator and CE-aligned design support regulatory compliance while delivering measurable ROI through energy savings and reduced maintenance.
