FAQs
For installation in wastewater facilities, mount the drive on a stable wall surface with access to 400 V three-phase power and a suitable control cabinet. Use the standard IP21 enclosure and consider IP55 or flange-mount options for harsher environments. Ensure adequate ventilation, proper EMC grounding, and integration with the plant control system via the Drive Composer tool.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rates from motor and drive signals, reducing the need for external flow meters. This improves control accuracy, lowers capital and maintenance costs, and helps maintain desired head at varying loads. In water and wastewater pumping, this translates to steadier pressure, reduced energy usage, and better compliance with process requirements.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 family within this model supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps to match demand while minimizing cycling and wear. In wastewater networks, this reduces energy peaks, improves reliability, and simplifies sequencing strategies, especially during variable flow conditions and transient events.
The standard configuration is IP21, which suits indoor or protected environments. Optional IP55 enclosure and flange-mount configurations extend ruggedness for outdoor or damp locations. When planning, assess exposure to dust, moisture, and temperature, and select the enclosure accordingly to maintain reliability and ensure service access for maintenance.
Expected ROI comes from energy savings, reduced pump downtime, and longer motor life thanks to precise flow control and dry-run protection. Maintenance benefits include easier commissioning via Drive Composer, fewer external sensors, and centralized monitoring. Utilities can quantify savings with the built-in energy calculator and plan predictive maintenance around pump performance data.
