The design adheres to CE safety requirements with IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options for harsher environments, while UL listing adds reliability for global projects. By coupling advanced pump features with intuitive tools, this drive delivers measurable business value through energy savings, reduced maintenance, and improved system availability for utility operators and engineering teams.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000222429 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.
Feature → Sensorless flow calculation enables accurate pump control without external sensors, delivering improved process stability and reduced instrumentation costs. This translates to lower energy consumption and longer equipment life in wastewater lift stations and water supply systems. Application: real-time flow management in pumping stations, where precise control supports compliance with upstream demand variations. Feature → Multipump control coordinates several pumps, reducing start/stop cycling and balancing load across units. Business impact: lower peak power demand, reduced mechanical wear, and simplified system orchestration. Application: municipal treatment facilities and industrial water reuse installations with multiple pumps. Feature → Level control and dry run protection prevent pump run-dry events, safeguarding impellers and seals while maintaining process levels. Impact: extended pump life, fewer unscheduled outages, and safer operation in wet wells. Application: lift stations and basins requiring reliable level-based pumping strategies. Feature → Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize pressure surges during start and stop, protecting piping networks and valves. Impact: reduced maintenance costs and extended life of piping infrastructure. Application: long-distance piping and municipal distribution networks with variable-speed pumping. Feature → Built-in energy calculator, intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning and monitoring. Impact: faster project ramp-up, easier remote diagnostics, and clear ROI tracking. Application: plant-wide automation projects and service contracts requiring transparent energy performance. Feature → IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 and flange-mount options provide installation flexibility in plant spaces. Impact: easier retrofits and adaptable mounting for confined or aggressive environments. Application: wall-mounted installations near equipment rooms or service corridors in water/wastewater facilities. Feature → Impeller cleaning assistance and sensorless control support ongoing pump cleanliness and efficiency. Impact: reduced maintenance interventions and consistent hydraulics performance. Application: utility pumping lines where debris and fouling can degrade pump efficiency.
