Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034600 ABB: The ACQ580-01 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. This robust and compact wall-mounted drive has built-in pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps and a solution for keeping the impeller of the pump clean.
Usability is further enhanced with the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, the PC tool Drive composer and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ580-01 variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
The LV AC wall-mounted design saves space and simplifies retrofits in constrained plant footprints, enabling quicker installations and easier maintenance in water/wastewater facilities. This compact format directly translates to lower capital expenditure per site and faster project ramp-up, without sacrificing performance. Sensorless flow calculation combined with multipump control delivers precise flow management and optimal pump sequencing, reducing wear and energy use while improving process reliability in multi-pump configurations. Level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection protect pumps from dry running and water hammer, extending pump life and decreasing unscheduled downtime in wet wells and basins. Quick ramps minimize mechanical stress during starts and stops, while the built‑in energy calculator highlights tangible savings opportunities and supports ongoing energy management programs. The Hand-Off-Auto interface, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel enable intuitive commissioning, remote diagnostics, and simplified maintenance planning across plant crews and contractors.

FAQs
The 3AXD50000034600 is designed for 400 V AC supply and delivers up to 37 kW (PN 37 kW, 73 A). It is suitable for retrofit into existing water and wastewater pumping stations, provided the drive's mounting, enclosure, and wiring clearances align with site safety requirements. Ensure conductor sizing and enclosure IP rating match the installation environment; IP21 is standard, with IP55 variants available for harsher conditions.
Sensorless flow calculation enables accurate flow control without dedicated flow sensors, reducing hardware costs and potential failure points. This improves pump efficiency, supports precise speed modulation, and enhances process stability in variable demand scenarios typical of water and wastewater systems, ultimately lowering energy consumption and extending pump life.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant supports multipump control, enabling sequenced start/stop and coordinated operation of multiple pumps. This reduces peak electrical demand, optimizes pump runtimes, and improves redundancy and system reliability in metro and municipal pumping stations or industrial wastewater facilities.
The standard enclosure is IP21, suitable for indoor, clean environments. For harsher or outdoor-adjacent installations, IP55 variants and flange-mount configurations are available, offering higher protection against dust and water ingress and greater mounting flexibility. Choose based on environmental conditions, maintenance access, and required ingress protection levels.
ROI comes from reduced energy consumption via efficient speed control (sensorless flow and energy calculator), lowered maintenance via dry run protection and soft-starts, and improved reliability from precise pump sequencing. In municipal or industrial networks, these factors translate to lower operating costs, fewer downtime events, and faster payback cycles on retrofit or greenfield projects.
