FAQs
The ACQ531-01 is designed as a compact wall-mounted drive with an IP20 enclosure, ideal for control rooms or cabinet retrofits. Installation typically involves secure wall mounting, proper cable routing to power and motor terminals, and wiring for optional accessories such as the HO-A panel or Bluetooth interface. Proper enclosure clearance and ventilation are recommended to maintain cooling performance and reliability.
The drive includes built-in pump application features tailored to pump curves, flow control, and protection logic, which simplifies commissioning and operation in water and wastewater facilities. Its 132 kW rating and 246 A current capability support medium- to large-capacity pumps, while the energy calculator helps quantify savings from optimized speed and torque profiles over time.
Yes. The ACQ531-01 supports optional accessories such as the Hand-Off-Auto control panel for local/manual operation and the Drive Composer PC tool for advanced commissioning, parameter tuning, and monitoring. The Bluetooth control panel option provides additional flexibility for remote configuration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting without on-site visits.
Drive Composer streamlines parameter setup, enables precise pump parameterization, and offers guided commissioning workflows. It reduces engineering time, improves consistency across multiple drives in a plant, and supports remote diagnostics and firmware updates. This results in faster startup, easier troubleshooting, and lower total cost of ownership for pump installations.
The ACQ531-01 comes in an IP20-rated enclosure suitable for indoor wall-mounting in controlled environments. This level of protection guards against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and provides basic protection against accidental contact. For outdoor or harsher environments, additional enclosure protection or alternative models may be required, and integration with ABB components should follow standard system-design practices.
