Part Number: 3ABD50000039016
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-01-03A4 Drive is a low-voltage, wall-mounted AC drive tailored for water and wastewater pumping, enabling precise motor control in compact plant footprints. Operators face energy waste, erratic starts, and pump wear; this drive tackles those pain points with sensorless flow calculation, soft-start ramps, and dry-run protection to extend pump life and reduce downtime. Key certifications and ratings include a standard IP21 enclosure, optional IP55 and flange mounting, plus CE compliance for European installations, aligning with safety and environmental requirements. With built-in energy calculation, intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control, Drives Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel, you gain visibility and streamlined operation. Together, these features translate to lower lifecycle costs for utilities and industrial plants, faster commissioning, and easier integration with existing pump stations.
Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD50000039016 ABB: The ACQ580-01 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 pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and a solution for keeping the impeller of the pump clean. Usability is further enhanced with the 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 ACQ580-01 variant comes in an IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. In addition, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Sensorless flow calculation and multipump control optimize pump throughput without external sensors, delivering precise flow regulation and energy savings in real-time. In wastewater or water treatment applications, this reduces throttling events and unnecessary pump starts, cutting energy peaks and extending equipment life. Level control, dry run protection, and soft pipe fill protect pumps from dry running and water-hammer, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while preserving impeller longevity. The built-in energy calculator makes it easy to quantify savings and justify upgrades, supporting ROIs and budget planning. Quick ramps minimize mechanical stress during startup/shutdown, lowering peak electrical demand and improving system reliability. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel enable rapid commissioning, remote diagnostics, and simplified operator training. IP21 is standard for wall mounting, with IP55 and flange-mount options expanding installation flexibility in plant layouts and retrofit projects.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01-03A4 is designed as a compact, wall-mounted LV drive with a standard IP21 enclosure for indoor installation. It also offers IP55 and flange-mounting options to fit varied plant layouts, enabling straightforward retrofits or new builds in water and wastewater facilities. Ensure your installation area provides appropriate ventilation and access to connect cables for the Hand-Off-Auto control panel and optional Bluetooth interface.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates the pump’s flow without external sensors, enabling accurate speed control and adaptive modulations. This reduces throttling, minimizes energy draw during variable demand, and lowers peak electrical consumption. In municipal and industrial pumping, you capture steady flow, avoid over-pumping, and extend pump service life while meeting regulatory flow requirements.
Yes. The drive's pump-centric features—sensorless flow, multipump control, level control, dry run protection, and quick ramps—are well aligned with municipal wastewater applications. Its wall-mount form factor simplifies retrofits in existing facilities, and the energy calculator supports ongoing optimization of energy costs, which is critical for large-scale pump stations with fluctuating demand.
The product ships with IP21 standard protection and supports IP55 optional configurations, addressing both basic and harsher installation environments. European installations commonly require CE compliance, which ABB typically provides. Additional safety and compatibility considerations include integrated pump protections, intuitive operator interfaces, and compatibility with Drive Composer for documented compliance and traceability.
ROI is driven by measurable energy savings from sensorless flow control, reduced downtime due to dry-run protection and soft-start ramps, and extended pump life from controlled start/stop cycles. Maintenance is simplified by clear diagnostics via Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth panels, enabling remote monitoring and quicker troubleshooting. Utilities and industrial sites typically see faster commissioning with predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs.
