Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222421 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 and multipump control provide precise flow management and energy reduction. In water and wastewater pumping, this enables smoother setpoint tracking and lower energy spikes during demand swings, contributing to lower operating expenses and higher system reliability. Level control, dry-run protection, soft pipe fill, and fast ramping protect pumps from cavitation and surge events, minimizing maintenance and extending equipment life in lift stations and treatment facilities. The integrated energy calculator visualizes savings, supporting ongoing optimization and regulatory reporting for energy performance in municipal plants. Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning, diagnostics, and remote monitoring, reducing field labor and accelerating project timelines. IP55 enclosure options and flange-mount variants offer installation flexibility, enabling compact, robust retrofits in constrained plant rooms while meeting strict protection standards.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01 is designed for wall mounting in compact plant rooms or sheltered outdoor locations when IP55-rated enclosures are used. Plan for proper clearances for heat dissipation and access to the Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer interface, and any optional Bluetooth tools. Ensure electrical connections follow local codes and provide adequate SUPPLY spacing for safe maintenance.
Key specs include 125 HP, 156 A, 460 V, with sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps. These features enable efficient pump regulation, reduced wear, and smooth transitions in variable-rate pumping typical of water and wastewater applications.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control and level management, enabling coordinated operation across multiple pumps to match demand while minimizing energy use and pump cycling. This is well-suited for lift stations, distribution networks, and treatment facilities requiring reliable, scalable control.
The ABB ACQ580-01 drive complies with CE and is UL-listed, providing confidence for European and North American installations. IP55 enclosure protection offers robust resistance to dust and water exposure, which is critical for municipal and industrial water applications exposed to harsh environments.
ROI is driven by energy savings from sensor-driven flow control and reduced pump wear through dry-run protection and soft-start features. The Drive Composer tool, Hand-Off-Auto interface, and optional Bluetooth panel simplify commissioning and remote diagnostics, lowering labor costs and downtime while supporting ongoing performance monitoring.
