Part Number: 3AUD0000003534
Quick Summary
ACQ580-3P ULH Irrigation Drive is designed to power outdoor irrigation systems with ultra-low harmonic performance, delivering precise motor control for pumps and valve stations. This package addresses the common challenge of harmonics that stress electrical equipment and complicate compliance by providing a compact, all-in-one solution. It is UL 508A listed and installed in a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure, with service-entrance rating for three-phase four-wire systems, helping sites meet IEEE 519 requirements with minimal external components. Built-in circuit breakers, a thermostatically controlled heater, and a surge suppressor simplify installation and maintenance, reducing downtime. This drive supports 40–150 HP at 460V and integrates easily with existing control architectures, delivering reliable operation in harsh outdoor environments while improving energy efficiency and control precision.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003534 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 technology within the ACQ580-3P reduces harmonic distortion, lowering electrical stress on drives and transformers, which translates to longer equipment life and reduced cooling requirements. The result is fewer nuisance trips and easier IEEE 519 compliance, especially in pump stations and irrigation field sites. Unity power factor with THiD ≤ 3%—and no external filters—drives energy efficiency, lowers footprint, and simplifies installation in constrained spaces. Built-in service-entrance rated design with integrated circuit breakers, padlockable disconnect, and a sealed control area reduces commissioning time and maintenance downtime, enabling safer, faster servicing at remote sites. The outdoor-rated, NEMA Type 3R enclosure and UL 508A listing provide reliable operation in wet, dusty environments, minimizing weather-related failures and warranty concerns. Additional protections include a thermostatically controlled heater and surge suppressor, protecting electronics from condensation and transient spikes while the totally enclosed control area keeps low-voltage components clean and accessible for routine servicing. The 40–150 HP at 460V range consolidates drive needs into a single package, reducing hardware diversity and installation cost, and supporting straightforward integration with plant PLCs and SCADA systems.

FAQs
The ACQ580-3P ULH package is designed for outdoor irrigation applications and 460V three-phase systems. It integrates with common ABB and third-party PLCs, includes built-in circuit breakers and a padlockable disconnect for safe commissioning, and uses a NEMA Type 3R enclosure to withstand weather conditions. This reduces cabling complexity and speeds up retrofit or new-install projects.
ULH technology minimizes harmonic distortion (THiD) to 3% or less, delivering a near-unity power factor without needing external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. This reduces electrical stress on transformers and switchgear, improves efficiency, and simplifies compliance with IEEE 519, making it well-suited for pumps and irrigation loads in regulated settings.
Yes. The drive is outdoor-rated with a NEMA Type 3R enclosure and UL 508A listing, designed for three-phase 460V systems and pump applications. It provides robust protection against condensation, weather, and transient events, while maintaining precise motor control for irrigation pumps, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.
The package is UL 508A listed and installed in a NEMA Type 3R outdoor enclosure, with service-entrance rating for three-phase four-wire systems. It is designed to help comply with IEEE 519 harmonic limits and supports safe operation in outdoor irrigation installations, aligning with industry standards for industrial automation equipment.
By eliminating external harmonic filters, reducing downtime with built-in protection, and enabling simpler commissioning, the ACQ580-3P ULH drive lowers installation and maintenance costs.
