ABB 3AUA0000204859 LV AC Drive - IP21/IP55 Water/Wastewater
Part Number: 3AUA0000204859
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580 drive delivers efficient pump control for water and wastewater applications. It helps operators overcome energy waste, start-up surges, and sensorless flow uncertainty by combining sensorless flow calculation, soft ramps, dry-run protection, and multipump coordination. UL-listed for 20 Hp, 27 A, and 460 V, the system ships in a standard IP21 enclosure with IP55 and flange mounting options for tougher environments. With an intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control, commissioning and remote diagnostics become faster. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, supporting ROI analysis and ongoing optimization across pumping stations and treatment facilities. This combination reduces operating costs while improving reliability and control fidelity.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000204859 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 IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Sensorless flow calculation and multipump control deliver precise, energy-efficient flow management in multi-pump configurations. This reduces electrical peak current and mechanical wear while maintaining target head and flow. In water and wastewater networks, operators can coordinate pumps to match demand without adding external sensors, simplifying installation and maintenance. Level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection safeguard pumps from cavitation and dry running. The result is longer pump life, lower maintenance, and reduced downtime. In lift stations and basins, these features enable safer starts and smoother transitions during shifting demand. Built-in energy calculator quantifies cost savings from torque and speed optimization, supporting energy efficiency programs. Coupled with quick ramps and intuitive controls, engineers can demonstrate ROI and justify upgrades. In practice, this helps meet sustainability targets while keeping capital expenditure predictable. Wall-mounted, compact design with IP21 standard and IP55 options simplifies installation in tight spaces and harsh environments. The drive works with ABB Drive Composer for commissioning and with a Bluetooth control panel option for field updates. The 460 V, 27 A, 20 Hp rating aligns with common municipal water infrastructure. Rugged construction and industry-specific features translate to higher availability. The Hand-Off-Auto control panel supports remote operation, while energy monitoring assists proactive maintenance. Together these capabilities reduce total cost of ownership in water treatment facilities.

FAQs
Install the wall-mounted drive in a protected indoor or sheltered location with access to a 460 V three-phase supply capable of 27 A. Use the IP21 enclosure by default, or select the IP55 option for harsher environments. Connect to the motor and pumps per the user manual, then commission with Drive Composer. The Hand-Off-Auto panel supports quick handoffs during startup.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates pump flow and system demand without external sensors, enabling accurate control of multiple pumps and reducing instrument count. This improves energy efficiency, lowers installation cost, and minimizes maintenance in water and wastewater applications while maintaining target flow and head.
Yes. The ACQ580 family includes multipump control designed to orchestrate several pumps, optimizing start/stop sequencing and reducing electrical spikes. This supports reliable operation in fluctuating demand typical of wastewater lift stations, clarifiers, and treatment stages, while the energy calculator helps quantify savings from coordinated control.
The drive is UL-listed for the specified configuration (20 Hp, 27 A, 460 V) and is available in IP21 standard with IP55 option. These ratings support safe, compliant operation in typical municipal water and wastewater environments and simplify safer, code-compliant installations.
ROI is driven by reduced energy consumption from optimized speed and torque, plus lower downtime due to protective features like dry-run protection and level control. The built-in energy calculator supports business-case projections, while Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth enable remote diagnostics, enabling proactive maintenance and longer asset life.
