Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222428 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.
Built-in pump application features, including sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level control, translate to tangible business outcomes: precise flow regulation reduces energy consumption and extends pump life, while minimizing downtime. In wastewater lift stations and multi-pump transfer applications, these capabilities ensure reliable operation under variable demand. Soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and an impeller cleaning approach further reduce wear and water hammer, protecting equipment and lowering maintenance costs. Energy calculator visualization provides a clear path to quantify savings, supporting ROI discussions and long-term budgeting. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and an optional Bluetooth panel shorten commissioning, diagnostics, and remote support, increasing uptime and reducing on-site labor. The compact wall-mounted design simplifies retrofits and new installs, with IP21 standard and IP55 or flange-mount options facilitating installation in tight spaces and demanding environments. Compatibility with existing sensors and PLCs enables seamless integration into established control architectures for water and wastewater facilities.

FAQs
Install on a stable wall surface with adequate clearance for cooling and cable entries. The unit ships with an IP21 enclosure standard and supports IP55 and flange mounting as options, enabling flexible placement. Plan for proper wiring to 460 V three-phase supply, and leave space for service access, Drive Composer tooling, and optional Bluetooth interface for commissioning and diagnostics.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow without external meters, enabling accurate speed modulation to match demand. This reduces energy consumption by preventing over-pumping, improves level control in tank systems, and minimizes wear by avoiding abrupt accelerations. It also enhances protection logic against dry-run scenarios and supports smoother transitions in multipump configurations.
Yes. The drive is designed for water and wastewater applications with built-in pump-specific features such as multipump control, level control, dry run protection, and quick ramps. Its energy calculator helps utilities justify ROI through measurable energy savings, while compact wall-mounted form factors simplify retrofits in treatment plants and pumping stations.
The product is specified with UL-listed performance for up to 50 Hp at 460 V and uses an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange mounting options available for harsher environments. These protections, combined with robust software protections (dry run, sensorless control), support reliable operation in municipal water and wastewater systems.
The drive delivers ROI through energy savings from optimized pump speed, reduced downtime due to dry-run protection and predictive calibration, and easier maintenance via Drive Composer and remote diagnostics. The integrated energy calculator provides tangible metrics, enabling procurement teams to quantify payback based on actual flow profiles and duty cycles in treatment plants.
