ABB 3AUA0000204875 ACQ580-01 Drive - IP21/IP55 Flex
Part Number: 3AUA0000204875
Quick Summary
The ABB ACQ580-01 drive is a low-voltage AC wall-mounted drive designed for water and wastewater pumping. Operators often struggle with energy waste and downtime; this drive offers sensorless flow calculation, dry-run protection, and soft ramps to reduce wear. It supports IP21 standard enclosures and can be upgraded to IP55 with flange mounting, while UL listing covers 2 HP at 460 V. In practice, this translates to easier integration, lower energy costs, and faster commissioning for water utilities and treatment facilities. Coupled with Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth control, maintenance teams gain deeper visibility and faster troubleshooting.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000204875 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, and level control deliver precise water management. This translates to reduced instrumentation, tighter process control, and lower operating costs. Ideal for municipal pumping stations and wastewater facilities where variable demand and multi-pump configurations are common. Dry-run protection, soft ramping, and quick ramps protect motors and piping, reducing wear, downtime, and maintenance costs. This is crucial for high-head or low-flow conditions in water networks. Energy calculator visualizes energy savings and supports ROI, enabling better capital planning and ongoing optimization. The combination enables reduced energy costs, extended pump life, simpler commissioning, and easier remote diagnostics for technical teams. Engineers can leverage the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto interface and PC-based Drive Composer to streamline start-up sequences, factory tests, and maintenance planning. The result is lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value for water utilities.

FAQs
Install the ABB ACQ580-01 on a clean, ventilated wall with adequate clearance for wiring. Use the IP21 enclosure by default, and consider IP55 or flange-mounted variants when higher protection is needed in wet or dusty plant areas. Pair with Drive Composer PC tool or a Bluetooth panel for easier commissioning and quick diagnostics during operation.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates pump flow based on motor torque and speed signals, reducing the need for external meters in many setups. This lowers instrumentation costs, shortens commissioning time, and improves control accuracy across varying demand in municipal and industrial water facilities.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control and level control, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps and tank management in wastewater applications. With dry-run protection, soft ramps, and quick ramp features, the system minimizes water hammer and protects pumps during transitions, boosting reliability in variable demand scenarios.
The drive ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available for harsher environments. It is UL-listed for 2 HP configurations at 460 V, ensuring compliance and safe operation in municipal and industrial water systems. Optional peripherals, such as Bluetooth panels, support compliant upgrades and maintenance tasks.
ROI is driven by energy savings from the built-in energy calculator, reduced downtime through dry-run protection and predictive maintenance, and longer pump life from soft ramping. In water utilities and treatment facilities, these factors combine to lower total cost of ownership and improve service reliability, delivering faster time-to-value.
