FAQs
Begin with a wall-mount installation using the standard IP21 enclosure. Ensure appropriate clearance for cooling and wiring, connect the three-phase supply (460 V) and motor leads, and configure the Hand-Off-Auto panel for basic operation. Use Drive Composer for commissioning and verify dry-run protection and sensorless flow features are enabled to safeguard the pump.
The unit supports up to 8 HP motors with a 12 A drive current at 460 V. It includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection, soft ramping, and a built-in energy calculator. Optional Bluetooth and Drive Composer tooling simplify tuning, monitoring, and maintenance in water and wastewater applications.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant provides multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps to match variable demand. This reduces energy consumption during low-flow periods, minimizes wear from frequent restarts, and simplifies control logic in wastewater treatment and municipal pumping stations.
The drive is CE compliant and ships with an IP21 enclosure by default. For harsher environments, IP55 and flange mounting options are available, enabling installations in more demanding sites while maintaining protective ratings and compliance with utility standards.
Expect reduced energy use through optimized variable-speed pumping, lower maintenance costs from dry-run protection and smoother ramps, and longer pump life from coordinated multipump start/stop sequences. The energy calculator provides tangible savings data, helping justify the investment through improved uptime and lower operating expenses.
