FAQs
Install the ACQ531-01 as a wall-mounted VFD with the IP20 enclosure for protection. Connect supply and motor leads per the ABB installation guide, mount within reach of control panels, and use the Drive Composer PC tool for initial parameterization. Verify pump presets align with your system curves and perform a step-wise ramp test to prevent water hammer.
Key specs include a power rating of 18.5 kW and a continuous current of 39 A. The unit ships with an IP20 enclosure as standard and is designed for wall mounting in pump applications, enabling compact installation in restricted spaces.
Yes. The drive supports an optional Hand-Off-Auto control panel, and can be managed via the Drive Composer PC tool or an optional Bluetooth control panel, enabling flexible local and remote operation and faster commissioning.
The energy calculator visualizes potential energy savings in real time, helping operators optimize setpoints, scheduling, and duty cycles. This supports cost reduction, regulatory reporting, and energy auditing for large pumping systems.
Choose a location with adequate ventilation and easy access for maintenance, ensure cable routing minimizes electrical noise, and leverage Drive Composer for pre‑configurations. The compact IP20 design and optional HOA/bluetooth options shorten commissioning, reduce labor costs, and support scalable, long-term pumping strategies.
