ABB 3AXD50000034632 ACQ580-01 Drive - IP55
Part Number: 3AXD50000034632
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000034632 is an LV AC wall-mounted drive for water and wastewater pumping. Operators often struggle with energy waste, pump mismatch, and unpredictable downtime that drive maintenance costs. This solution is CE-certified and built to IP21 standards, with optional IP55 protection and flange-mount variants to suit harsh plant environments. By combining sensorless flow calculation, multipump and level control with an energy calculator and a user-friendly Hand-Off-Auto panel, it delivers reliable, energy-efficient control across multiple pumps. Coupled with Drive Composer and a Bluetooth option, the system supports fast commissioning, easier diagnostics, and reduced total cost of ownership for utilities and industrial water projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000034632 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 drive includes sensorless flow calculation and pump-specific logic that optimize head and flow without costly external sensors. The business impact is improved energy efficiency and reduced instrumentation costs, especially in multi-pump configurations. In water utilities and wastewater plants, this translates to steady process control and lower operating expenditure. Multipump control and level control consolidate pumping operations, reduce start-stop cycling, and ensure proper sequencing, which lowers wear, extends pump life, and improves system reliability for complex pumping schemes. Soft pipe fill, dry run protection, and quick ramps protect equipment during commissioning and operation, reducing maintenance downtime and water loss while easing startup for variable-demand scenarios. Built-in energy calculator, Hand-Off-Auto interface, and PC Drive Composer enable faster commissioning, proactive diagnostics, and ongoing optimization without requiring specialized external tools. The Bluetooth control option supports remote monitoring and field adjustments, simplifying upgrades and retrofits in aging infrastructure. The overall design remains compact and space-efficient, facilitating retrofits in crowded plant rooms while providing IP21 baseline protection and IP55 option for harsher environments.

FAQs
Installers should verify compatibility with a 400 V power supply, ensure proper IP rating selection (IP21 baseline with IP55 option as needed), and mount the unit on a stable wall. Use the Hand-Off-Auto panel for commissioning and reference Drive Composer for configuration. Pre-pump checks, wiring diagrams from ABB, and adherence to local electrical codes reduce commissioning time and risk.
The drive targets Pn 250 kW with a current of up to 430 A at 400 V. It provides sensorless flow control, multipump sequencing, level control, and quick ramping to optimize pump performance, minimize energy use, and protect pumps from dry running or stall conditions during variable demand in water and wastewater systems.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant supports multipump control, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps, improved redundancy, and reduced cycling. This is particularly advantageous in wastewater lift stations and water treatment plants where demand fluctuates and reliable sequencing lowers maintenance costs and tank levels.
The unit is CE-certified and available in IP21 standard with optional IP55 protection for tougher environments. Flange mounting and IP55 variants expand installation flexibility in restricted spaces and exposed plants, while sensorless control and energy calculations aid in compliant, efficient operation.
Expect reduced energy consumption due to optimized flow control, lower downtime from dry-run protection and soft-start capabilities, and easier maintenance through Drive Composer diagnostics and a Bluetooth option for remote monitoring. Over the life of water/wastewater pumping assets, these features translate to lower operating costs and faster payback on retrofits.
