ABB ACQ580-3P Irrigation Drive Package - UL Type 3R ULH
Part Number: 3AUD0000003533
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-3P irrigation drive package is an outdoor rated drive that reduces harmonics in irrigation systems. A common engineer pain point is downtime from harmonic distortion, voltage spikes, and the burden of external filters. This package ships UL508A-certified with a UL Type 3R outdoor enclosure, IEEE 519-compliant harmonic performance, and built-in ULH capability. Its integrated protections and compact, service-entrance design streamline installation for automation projects and reduce total cost of ownership. The combination of robust electrical protection and simplified installation translates to lower lifecycle costs and higher system availability for field-deployed irrigation and other automated pump applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003533 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.
Ultra-low harmonic technology reduces THiD to ≤ 3% while maintaining unity power factor, which lowers electrical stress on motors and switchgear and eliminates the need for external filters. This directly translates to longer motor life, reduced maintenance, and faster commissioning in irrigation pump stations and other outdoor drives. The UL Type 3R outdoor-rated enclosure, assembled to UL508A, enables dependable operation in harsh environments with service-entrance rated accessibility, simplifying regulatory compliance and field service. Built-in circuit breakers and a padlockable disconnect minimize downtime during maintenance and enable safer, lockable isolation. A thermostatically controlled heater and surge suppressor protect the drive from condensation and transient events, enhancing reliability in remote locations. Finally, a totally enclosed control area keeps low-voltage components clean and protected, enabling compact installation and easier integration with automation systems.

FAQs
This drive is designed for outdoor, service-entrance installations with a UL Type 3R enclosure and UL508A assembly. Use the padlockable disconnect for safe isolation, ensure 460V three-phase supply, and position the drive to allow drainage and airflow in the enclosure. No external filters are required due to ULH harmonic technology, which simplifies wiring and reduces installation time.
ULH technology minimizes total harmonic distortion to ≤ 3% and maintains unity power factor, reducing electrical stress on motors, transformers, and switchgear. This leads to lower insulation wear, less overheating, fewer downtime events, and extended equipment life in demanding irrigation pump applications.
Yes. The drive supports 40–150 HP at 460V 3-phase, is outdoor-rated with a UL Type 3R enclosure, and includes service-entrance-rated protection. It integrates built-in circuit breakers and protection features suitable for field installations typical of irrigation infrastructure.
The package is UL508A-certified with a UL Type 3R outdoor enclosure and IEEE 519-compliant harmonic performance. ULH technology provides low THiD without external filters or transformers, supporting compliant operation in regulated industrial environments.
Built-in protection (circuit breakers, heater, surge suppressor) reduces downtime and maintenance needs. The enclosed, compact design simplifies installation and service access, improving uptime. Lower harmonic distortion means less wear on electrical assets, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over the lifecycle of irrigation automation projects.
