ABB ACQ580-01-03A0-4+B056 LV Water/Wastewater Drive - IP21
Part Number: 3AUA0000204874
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-01-03A0-4+B056 LV Water/Wastewater Drive is a compact wall-mounted VFD designed for pumping applications. Engineers frequently struggle with energy-inefficient pumps, unreliable dry-run protection, and complex parameter tuning in compact spaces. This design aligns with CE-compliant electricals, UL-listed components, and protective IP ratings with IP21 standard (IP55 flange options available) to meet plant standards. By integrating sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and an energy calculator, it delivers measurable cost savings, while intuitive tools like Drive Composer and the Hand-Off-Auto control panel streamline commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000204874 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.
Built-in pump application features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and dry-run protection deliver precise flow management and reduced equipment wear. This translates to energy savings and lower maintenance costs in municipal and industrial pumping applications. The compact wall-mounted design simplifies installation in space-constrained plants and supports IP21 standard enclosures, with IP55 flange options for harsher environments. Energy-efficient operation is augmented by the integrated energy calculator, enabling operators to quantify savings across daily operating cycles and seasonal variations. Quick ramps and soft-start capabilities reduce mechanical stress on impellers and piping, while quick integration with plant SCADA and Drive Composer accelerates commissioning. Optional Bluetooth control panel adds remote diagnostics and mobile access for field technicians. Compatibility with 460 V systems and 2 HP, 3 A motors makes retrofits straightforward, reducing total cost of ownership. The hands-off auto mode ensures safe stand-by and reduced manned oversight in busy water/wastewater facilities, supporting compliant operations and predictable performance.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01-03A0-4+B056 is designed for 460 V AC systems and supports up to 2 HP motors drawing about 3 A. It comes in a wall-mount configuration with IP21 protection by default and IP55 flange options for more demanding environments. Installation is straightforward with standard wiring, mounting hardware, and driver configuration via Drive Composer, reducing commissioning time in water and wastewater facilities.
Key performance features include sensorless flow calculation for accurate, sensor-free flow control; dry-run protection to prevent pump damage; soft pipe fill and quick ramps to minimize surge; and multipump control for coordinated operation. These capabilities together reduce energy use, extend pump life, and minimize maintenance in real-world wastewater and water treatment scenarios.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-03A0-4+B056 supports multipump control and level-based coordination, enabling smooth handoff between pumps and preventing simultaneous start/stop events. This is particularly beneficial for lift stations and treatment plants where demand fluctuates, helping maintain stable head pressures while reducing electrical stress on equipment and lowering peak demand charges.
The drive is CE-compliant with UL-listed components. It is available in an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 flange-mounted options for harsher environments. This combination helps meet regulatory requirements for municipal projects and ensures safe operation in wet, industrial settings while supporting installation in standard electrical rooms.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump performance and reduced downtime due to protective features like dry-run protection. The built-in energy calculator quantifies savings, while Drive Composer enables faster commissioning and easier tuning. Long-term maintenance is simplified by sensorless control, reduced instrumentation needs, and remote diagnostics via optional Bluetooth panels.
