ABB 3AUD0000003530 ACQ580-3P Drive - UL Type 3R, IEEE519
Part Number: 3AUD0000003530
Quick Summary
ACQ580-3P drive is an outdoor ULH irrigation drive for reliable pump control in irrigation systems. Many facilities struggle with harmonic distortion, efficiency losses, and maintenance costs when multiple drives operate in parallel. This solution is UL 508A-listed, service-entrance rated for outdoor use (UL Type 3R), and designed to meet IEEE 519 harmonic limits, helping you stay compliant with electrical standards. With 40-150 HP at 460V 3-phase and built-in protections, it delivers energy efficiency and predictable uptime for critical irrigation equipment. Its ULH architecture maintains near-unity power factor under varying loads, reducing downstream stress on transformers and switchgear. The compact footprint and integrated protections simplify installation and commissioning, delivering tangible savings on space, time, and total cost of ownership for site operators.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003530 ABB: The ACQ580-3P ultra-low harmonic (ULH) irrigation drive package is an outdoor rated, UL (NEMA) Type 3R enclosed drive assembled to UL508A, designed to help your system comply with IEEE519. The ULH technology within this package produces the least amount of harmonic distortion to reduce stress on electrical equipment. It provides unity power factor with a 3% or less THiD. As there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers, the simple installation offers significant savings in space, time and cost.

FAQs
Ensure the unit is mounted in its UL Type 3R outdoor enclosure and connected to a 460V 3-phase supply with a three- or four-wire configuration. Use the built-in circuit breakers, observe proper wiring practices, and verify IEEE 519 compliance for harmonic limits. The drive's service-entrance rated design simplifies connection to main panels, reducing field wiring time and potential errors.
ULH technology minimizes harmonic distortion, delivering a unity power factor with THD of 3% or less. This reduces stress on transformers and switchgear, lowers energy losses, and often eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. In irrigation applications, this means more reliable pump operation and extended equipment life, especially in systems with multiple drives.
Yes. The drive supports 40-150 HP at 460V 3-phase and is designed for outdoor irrigation environments. Its rugged UL Type 3R enclosure, built-in protections, and IEEE 519 compliance make it ideal for pump stations and remote irrigation sites where space, protection, and power quality are critical.
The ACQ580-3P is UL 508A listed and UL Type 3R outdoor rated. It is designed to meet IEEE 519 harmonic requirements, ensures service-entrance compatibility, and includes a weatherproof enclosure with a padlockable disconnect for maintenance safety and regulatory compliance.
Built-in thermostatically controlled heater prevents condensation, while the surge suppressor protects against transient events, reducing unplanned downtime and component wear. The integrated protection, fewer external components, and simpler installation translate to lower maintenance costs and a faster return on investment through improved system reliability and reduced field labor.
