Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00049848 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.
Feature: Built-in pump application features for water and wastewater. Benefit: Optimizes pump performance to reduce energy use and stabilize flow, lowering operating costs and extending equipment life. Application: Pump stations and treatment facilities seeking efficiency gains and assured compliance. Feature: Compact wall-mounted IP20 enclosure. Benefit: Frees floor space in confined plant rooms and simplifies retrofits, reducing installation time and cost. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds where space is at a premium. Feature: Optional Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth control panel. Benefit: Enhanced control, remote diagnostics, and streamlined commissioning, translating to faster startup and lower maintenance overhead. Application: Field service, remote monitoring, and centralized control architectures. Feature: Built-in energy calculator. Benefit: Demonstrates real-time and projected energy savings to justify investment and guide optimization. Application: Utilities and process operators pursuing energy-management programs. Feature: Compatibility with ACQ531-01 variant PN 7.5 kW, IN 17 A. Benefit: Clear, spec-aligned performance for medium-capacity pumping duties, with predictable startup and torque characteristics. Application: Water/wastewater pump packages and OEM integrations. Objection handling: For harsh environments, consider external protection or higher IP-rated enclosures; the standard IP20 provides basic dust protection for typical plant interiors, while the compact form factor eases installation in existing facilities. Overall, the solution balances ruggedness with accessibility, reducing total cost of ownership through simplified maintenance and scalable control options.

FAQs
The drive is designed for wall-mounted installation in IP20-rated enclosures. Ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, proper ventilation, and compliant wiring according to the ABB installation manual. Consider proximity to the motor, accessibility for maintenance, and compatibility with existing control cabinets. If space is limited, plan exact mounting locations and cable routing to minimize shutdown time during retrofit projects.
Key specs include a 7.5 kW output with a nominal current of 17 A, IP20 enclosure, and a compact wall-mounted format. The drive provides pump-optimized application features, an energy calculator, and optional interfaces such as Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and Bluetooth control panel to enhance setup, monitoring, and maintenance.
Yes. The ACQ531-01 variant is purpose-built for water and wastewater pumping, incorporating pump-oriented features that optimize flow, pressure, and energy use. Its compact, wall-mounted design minimizes footprint in treatment plants, while optional accessories support advanced control and remote diagnostics, matching typical utilities’ reliability and efficiency requirements.
The product is IP20 rated for standard indoor plant environments and carries CE certification for compliance with European machinery directives. While IP20 suits typical water and wastewater facilities, for harsher environments consider higher IP enclosures or additional external protection. The drive also supports integration with common plant controls through compatible interfaces and accessories.
The built-in energy calculator helps quantify energy savings by comparing pump duty with and without VFD control, supporting ongoing optimization. By reducing throttling losses and aligning pump speed with demand, utilities and facilities can lower electrical energy consumption, extend motor life, and improve process stability, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
