ABB 3AUA0000204858 LV AC Drive - 15 HP, 23 A, 460 V UL
Part Number: 3AUA0000204858
Quick Summary
LV AC drive for water and wastewater pumping boosts energy efficiency and precise flow control across municipal and industrial pumping stations. Operators face energy waste from inefficient starts, inconsistent pump sequencing, and downtime due to dry runs. CE conformity and IP ratings ensure safe operation in demanding environments, with IP21 standard enclosure and optional IP55/flange-mount variants, while UL listing provides added reliability. By leveraging built-in tools like the energy calculator and Drive Composer, you can quantify savings, optimize maintenance planning, and extend pump life while meeting regulatory requirements. The result is predictable pump performance, lower lifecycle costs, and faster commissioning for new or expanding water treatment projects.

FAQs
ABB ACQ580-01 can be installed on walls in standard indoor electrical rooms or protected outdoor areas, using the IP21 enclosure with IP55 options for harsher environments. Plan compliant wiring for 460 V systems and up to 15 HP. Ensure proper heat dissipation, mounting clearances, and connection to the Drive Composer PC tool during commissioning.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rates by motor feedback without separate flow sensors, enabling accurate control of pump speed and reducing energy consumption. Coupled with multipump control, it allows sequencing and soft switching to match demand, minimize starts and stops, and protect pumps from dry-run events. This improves system reliability and lowers operating costs.
Yes. The drive ships in an IP21 standard enclosure and offers IP55 and flange-mount variants for wet environments or space-constrained installations. Accessories include a Bluetooth control panel and the Drive Composer PC tool, plus options for Hand-Off-Auto panels to simplify field operation. These features help technicians install and commission the drive quickly while maintaining reliability.
Deploying the ACQ580-01 drives reduces energy by optimizing pump curves and reducing unnecessary throttling, with the built-in energy calculator enabling ROI calculations. Maintenance benefits include dry-run protection and hardware fault detection, which decrease unplanned outages and extend bearing life, while Drive Composer streamlines upgrades and retrofits for existing plants. This translates to lower total cost of ownership over the equipment's life.
Drive Composer allows PC-based configuration, parameter monitoring, and commissioning workflows, while the optional Bluetooth control panel provides on-site access without a laptop. Together, they enable faster setup, remote troubleshooting, and safer start-up sequences for field technicians in water and wastewater installations. The integration also supports real-time data collection for plant optimization and regulatory reporting.
