FAQs
The drive is designed as a wall-mounted low-voltage AC solution for water and wastewater applications. It ships in an IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 as an optional variant, enabling installation in service corridors or plant rooms. For a safe, compliant install, ensure proper clearance for cooling and a mounting surface capable of supporting the weight, with appropriate cable routing to minimize EMI.
Key capabilities include sensorless flow calculation for accurate pump performance without extra sensors, dry-run protection to guard against pump running without liquid, level control, soft pipe fill, multipump control, and quick ramps. Together these features optimize efficiency, protect equipment, and maintain consistent flow in variable wastewater conditions.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps to maintain setpoints and minimize energy use. Level control and quick ramps facilitate smooth transitions between pumps, reducing mechanical stress and extending pump life in district metering, wastewater treatment, and municipal water systems.
The drive is UL-listed for safety and available with an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount variants offered for harsher environments. While CE certification is commonly expected for many markets, confirm local regulatory alignment with ABB sales to ensure the solution meets your plant standards.
Expect measurable energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced downtime due to protections like dry run and quick ramps, and easier commissioning through Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth control. The built-in energy calculator helps quantify savings, supporting faster payback analysis and improved total cost of ownership for water/wastewater operations.
