Part Number: 3AUA0000222417
Quick Summary
The LV AC wall-mounted drive from ABB delivers precise pump control for water and wastewater systems. Engineers often struggle with energy waste and unplanned downtime, but this drive uses sensorless flow calculation, soft ramps, and dry-run protection to keep systems reliable and efficient. UL-listed safety certification supports compliant installations, and the standard IP21 enclosure—plus IP55 and flange-mount options—gives deployment flexibility in harsh environments. Integrated energy reporting and intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panels, together with Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth control, translate to faster commissioning and lower lifecycle costs. This combination delivers measurable business value by reducing energy use, extending pump life, and accelerating project timelines for utilities and process industries.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222417 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 estimates actual pump output directly from motor data, eliminating external sensors, reducing wiring, and simplifying field installations. Multipump control enables coordinated sequencing and load sharing among several pumps, minimizing start/stop cycles and optimizing energy use across demand curves. These capabilities are particularly valuable for municipal and industrial water/wastewater plants where flow requirements shift rapidly. Level control maintains stable process levels by responding to real-time sensor feedback or level estimates, reducing overfills and empty runs. Soft pipe fill and controlled ramping minimize hydraulic transients, protecting pipes, valves, seals, and downstream instrumentation from stress. Dry-run protection reduces motor exposure to dry operation, lowering failure rates and preventing costly unscheduled maintenance. Quick ramps limit torque and current spikes during starting, extending motor life and smoothing electrical demand profiles for facilities with peak shaving requirements. The built-in energy calculator visualizes potential savings across operating regions, supporting data-driven decisions for pump modernization and capacity planning. Combined, these features deliver measurable reductions in energy use, downtime, and total cost of ownership for water and wastewater assets. Hand-Off-Auto control panels provide intuitive mode switching, enabling operators to transition quickly between manual setpoints and automatic control. Drive Composer on a PC supports rapid configuration, testing, and commissioning, reducing site-specific engineering time and deployment risk. Optional Bluetooth control extends visibility to remote sites and field technicians for diagnostics without returning to the control room. Standard IP21 enclosure supports indoor installations, while IP55 and flange-mount variants expand protection and mounting flexibility in challenging facilities. Wall-mount design saves panel space and simplifies access for service, calibration, and sensor replacement in tight mechanical rooms. Retrofit-ready mounting options align with existing piping layouts, helping protect capital investment and accelerate project delivery.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01 is designed for wall-mount installations with a standard IP21 enclosure and optional IP55 protection. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling, access to the Hand-Off-Auto panel, and proper conduit routing for power and motor leads. Consider IP55 mounting options where environmental exposure or washdown is a concern, and plan wiring to support sensorless flow and level control features.
Sensorless flow calculation derives pump output from motor data, removing the need for external flow sensors. This reduces installation complexity and maintenance while delivering accurate speed and torque control. In variable demand water and wastewater applications, it translates to tighter control, fewer sensor failures, and meaningful energy savings over the pump’s lifecycle.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant provides multipump control and level control features designed for coordinated operation of several pumps. This helps balance load, prevents simultaneous startup surges, maintains target levels, and reduces energy usage, downtime, and pump wear in fluctuating flow conditions common to wastewater facilities.
The unit is UL-listed for safety and reliability, and it ships with a standard IP21 enclosure. For installations exposed to harsher environments, IP55 and flange-mount configurations are available, enabling safer, more flexible mounting in mechanical rooms, outdoor spaces, or equipment pits.
ROI is driven by reduced energy consumption from optimized pump control, fewer sensor failures, and lower maintenance costs due to dry-run protection and simplified wiring. The built-in energy calculator and rapid commissioning via Drive Composer shorten project timelines, while remote diagnostics with Bluetooth support can minimize on-site visits and extend asset life.
