ABB 3AUD0000003532 ACQ580-3P Drive - ULH UL 3R
Part Number: 3AUD0000003532
Quick Summary
The ABB ACQ580-3P drive is an ultra-low harmonic irrigation drive designed for outdoor, three-phase systems. Engineers face harmonic distortion, space constraints, and downtime; this package mitigates those pain points with ULH technology and a compact footprint. It carries UL508A listing, a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure, and a service-entrance rating to support reliable, compliant operation in exposed environments. By combining built-in circuit protection, a thermostatically controlled heater, and surge suppression with a maintenance-friendly design, it lowers lifecycle costs while meeting IEEE 519 requirements. With 40-150 HP at 460V and unity power factor, this ABB drive helps you optimize irrigation infrastructure while simplifying procurement and installation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003532 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
This drive arrives in a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure and is service entrance rated, designed for 460V 3-phase systems. It includes built-in circuit breakers, a thermostatically controlled heater, and a surge suppressor to simplify mounting, wiring, and protective coordination in exposed environments. Ensure appropriate mounting provisions and ventilation for reliable operation.
ULH technology minimizes harmonic distortion to THD ≤ 3% and achieves unity power factor, reducing electrical stress on transformers and switchgear. This helps with IEEE 519 compliance, lowers energy losses, and improves motor performance, which is especially beneficial for continuous irrigation pumping and outdoor load profiles.
The drive is designed for 460V 3-phase systems and offers integrated protections and I/O suitable for PLC integration. Compatibility depends on control wiring and communication interfaces; consult your electrical engineer to map I/O, control signals, and protective functions to your existing automation layer.
Ideal for outdoor irrigation pumps and pumping stations, the ACQ580-3P package supports agricultural water management, municipal irrigation, and remote farming operations. Its rugged enclosure, protection features, and compact installation make it suitable for harsh environments where dependable power delivery and compliance are critical.
Built-in circuit breakers, heater, and surge suppression reduce maintenance intervals and downtime. The integrated enclosure and absence of external filters simplify installation, saving space and labor costs. Improved power quality and reliability translate to fewer outages and lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
