ABB 3AXD50000034601 LV AC wall-mounted drive - IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000034601
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000034601 LV AC wall-mounted drive delivers precise pump speed control for water and wastewater applications. Engineers often grapple with energy waste and pump wear in aging infrastructure, where even small flow variations drive large energy penalties. This drive mitigates those issues with sensorless flow calculation, soft ramping, and dry-run protection, delivering reliable operation across variable duty cycles. It ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange mounting options available for tougher environments. When paired with the Drive Composer PC tool and optional Bluetooth panel, it enables rapid commissioning and ongoing optimization, while an integral energy calculator highlights potential savings. Together, these features support measurable efficiency gains and a lower total cost of ownership for water utilities and industrial pump stations.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034601 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.
Sensorless flow calculation enables precise control of pump speed without external flow meters, reducing instrumentation costs and simplifying installation. The business impact is immediate energy and maintenance efficiency, especially in variable head conditions common to water networks. Applications include municipal pumping stations and wastewater lift stations where accurate flow tracking drives stable process performance. Multi-pump control and level control allow coordinated operation across several pumps, cutting unnecessary cycling and extending equipment life. By optimizing pump sequencing based on real-time demand, utilities can minimize peak electrical loads and reduce energy bills, benefiting both municipal networks and industrial pumping stations. Dry-run protection protects pumps from operating dry, lowering seal wear and maintenance costs, while soft ramping and quick ramps minimize water hammer and mechanical stress during start-up. Combined with a built-in energy calculator, these features enable data-driven decisions and faster ROI for upgrade projects. The Hand-Off-Auto control panel and Drive Composer PC tool streamline commissioning, troubleshooting, and remote monitoring, delivering a practical path to compliant and reliable operation in demanding environments.
