Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000049037 ABB: The ACQ580-07 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 cabinet-built 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 ready-made standalone cabinet-built ACQ580-07 variant comes in IP21 as standard. Also, IP42 and IP54 units are available.
Sensorless flow calculation coupled with multipump control delivers precise flow management and reduced energy consumption, enabling you to optimize water handling while minimising wear on pumps. This translates to lower operating costs and extended equipment life, especially in complex wastewater networks where head pressure and variable demand vary throughout the day. Level control, dry-run protection, and quick ramp features further protect pumps from damage and wear, helping maintenance teams avoid unexpected downtimes while shortening start-up sequences for faster project ROI. The built-in energy calculator visualises energy savings, supporting data-driven decisions and easier budgeting for large-scale water treatment and distribution projects. Drive Composer and Hand-Off-Auto control streamline commissioning, while the optional Bluetooth control panel provides convenient field configuration and monitoring without heavy tooling. Compatibility with cabinet-built installations reduces footprint and simplifies installation in tight plant spaces, with IP21 standard and IP42/IP54 variant options addressing indoor and outdoor exposure. These capabilities make ABB drives a trusted fit for water and wastewater applications where reliability, efficiency, and ease of service matter most.

FAQs
The drive supports multipump control and sensorless flow calculation, enabling coordinated control across multiple pumps. This reduces start-stop cycling, balances head pressure, and improves system reliability in sewer and pump stations. It integrates with standard handoff-auto operation and Drive Composer for streamlined sequencing and fault handling in complex pumping networks.
Key specs include a rated power of 90 kW with 169 A at 400 V (IEC). The UL configuration provides 125 Hp and 156 A at 480 V. The unit is available in IP21 standard, with IP42 and IP54 variants for enhanced enclosure protection, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor installations within water/wastewater facilities.
Yes. The ABB ACQ580 family integrates Drive Composer, a PC-based configuration tool that simplifies parameter setting, commissioning, and monitoring. An optional Bluetooth control panel is available for field access, enabling quick adjustments and status checks without heavy equipment, which accelerates startup and reduces maintenance overhead.
The drive includes an energy calculator that visualises potential energy savings from optimized pump operation. Sensorless flow control optimizes pump speed to match demand, while quick ramps minimise inrush and pressure surges. Together, these features lower electricity costs, reduce wear, and support compliant, efficient pumping across varying process conditions.
The drive is CE-marked and UL-listed, aligning with global safety and performance standards. It is available in IP21 standard, with IP42/IP54 variants to meet harsher environmental requirements. These certifications and ratings help ensure compliance, risk reduction, and reliable operation in water and wastewater installations.
