ABB ACQ580-3P Irrigation Drive - ULH, NEMA Type 3R
Part Number: 3AUD0000003531
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-3P irrigation drive is an outdoor-rated ULH solution for irrigation pump control. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, space constraints, and downtime from external filters. This package is IEEE 519 compliant, UL508A listed, and housed in a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure, protecting against moisture and harsh environments. Built-in circuit breakers, a thermostatically controlled heater, and surge suppression simplify installation and reduce maintenance, delivering reliable operation in demanding fields. Its 40–150 HP range at 460V three-phase supports scalable irrigation automation while minimizing total cost of ownership through simpler wiring and fewer components. Designed for easy field retrofit and single-source maintenance, it accelerates project timelines and improves uptime.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003531 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.

This robust package is also Service Entrance rated for three phase four wire systems and has padlockable disconnect and enclosure doors. It comes equipped with built-in circuit breakers, reducing downtime and the need to carry fuses. It also includes a thermostatically controlled heater to protect against condensation, a surge suppressor to defend against transient lightning strikes and a totally enclosed control area to maintain a clean environment for the drive and low voltage control components. It is available in power ranges from 40-150 HP at 460V 3-phase.
ULH harmonic mitigation reduces harmonic distortion, improving power quality and protecting sensitive irrigation equipment. Business impact: longer motor life, fewer consumer-grade filters, and lower energy costs. Application: outdoor pump stations where reliable power quality is critical. The enclosure is NEMA Type 3R, UL508A listed, providing weatherproof protection and safer operation in harsh environments. This simplifies installation and reduces protection costs on rugged sites. No external filters, multi-pulse arrangements, or special transformers are required, which translates to significant space savings and faster commissioning for new irrigation projects. Built-in circuit breakers, a thermostatically controlled heater, and surge suppression protect hardware, minimize unplanned downtime, and lower maintenance labor. Compatibility with 460V three-phase systems and service-entrance rated design enables a single-source solution for field deployments. This compact package supports scalable deployment from 40 to 150 HP, delivering predictable performance and reducing total cost of ownership. Real-world insight shows contractors favor integrated protection because it lowers spare-part inventories and speeds up handover to operations teams.

FAQs
Yes. The ACQ580-3P is designed for 460V three-phase systems and covers a power range of 40 to 150 HP, making it suitable for a wide array of irrigation pump applications. It supports service-entrance rated installation and is built to withstand outdoor environments with a NEMA Type 3R enclosure and UL508A listing.
The ULH architecture delivers harmonic distortion of 3% or less THD with unity power factor under typical operating conditions. This is achieved without external filters, multi-pulse arrangements, or special transformers, simplifying system design and improving power quality for irrigation pumps.
Yes. The drive comes in a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure, UL508A listed, with a built-in heater, surge suppressor, and robust protection. This design supports outdoor locations subject to moisture and temperature variation, reducing the need for extra protective cabinets and enabling safer, faster installations.
Key certifications include IEEE 519 harmonic compliance, UL508A listing for control panels, and a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure rating. These standards ensure power quality, electrical safety, and weather resistance in outdoor irrigation deployments.
The built-in circuit breakers, thermostatically controlled heater, and surge suppressor reduce downtime and maintenance costs by protecting electronics, eliminating many external components, and simplifying commissioning. The service-entrance rated design also streamlines installation, cuts space requirements, and lowers total cost of ownership for irrigation projects.
