Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222424 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 enables precise pump modulation without external metering, delivering energy efficiency and reduced wear in municipal and industrial water networks. This feature lowers operating costs while maintaining desired flow, especially in variable-demand environments. Multipump control coordinates multiple pumps to minimize on/off cycling and optimize duty points, improving reliability in lift stations and treatment plants. Level control supports consistent storage tank behavior, preventing overfill and minimizing discharge variability, which translates to lower risk of floods or shortages. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps reduce water hammer and mechanical stress on pumps and piping, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance cycles. Dry-run protection prevents motor damage during startup or low-fluid scenarios, protecting assets and avoiding costly repairs. An integrated energy calculator visualizes savings for project justification, enabling faster ROI and better budgeting. The Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel simplify configuration, commissioning, and remote diagnostics, accelerating field deployment. IP21 standard housing with available IP55 and flange-mount options provides installation flexibility to fit space constraints in basements, pits, and outdoor walls, supporting compliant, reliable operation in demanding water and wastewater applications.

FAQs
Yes. The ABB 3AUA0000222424 LV AC wall-mounted drive is designed for wall installation in water and wastewater facilities. It ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard and offers IP55 and flange-mount options to fit challenging environments. Compatible with 460 V systems and up to 200 Hp (approximately 260 A), this drive supports compact footprint installations in confined spaces while maintaining robust protection and easy accessibility for service.
Sensorless flow calculation eliminates the need for external flow meters by estimating flow based on motor parameters, enabling precise pump modulation. The result is enhanced energy efficiency, smoother start-stop cycles, and improved control of variable demand in water/wastewater networks. This capability reduces wasted energy during partial-load operation and supports more stable process control in treatment and distribution applications.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 based system supports multipump control and level control, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps in a lift station. This reduces cycling, optimizes pump duty points, and maintains consistent tank levels, which minimizes surge events and discharge variability. Field-ready features like quick ramps and dry-run protection further enhance reliability in multi-pump configurations.
The standard enclosure is IP21, suitable for indoor wall mounting. For harsher environments, IP55 mounting options and flange-mounted configurations are available, increasing ingress protection and mounting versatility. Core protections include dry-run prevention and robust pump-application features, which help maintain equipment integrity and reduce unplanned downtime in challenging water and wastewater installations.
Deploying this drive supports a clear ROI through energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced wear from soft-start features, and lower maintenance needs due to dry-run protection. The built-in energy calculator and remote tools (Drive Composer, HOA panel, Bluetooth option) simplify commissioning and diagnostics, accelerating project payback and extending pump life in municipal pumping networks.
