ABB 3AXD50000049040 ACQ580 Drive Cabinet-Built - IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000049040
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580 cabinet-built LV drive is a compact LV drive designed for water and wastewater pumping applications. Operators contend with varying head, fluctuating flow, and rising energy costs in municipal plants and industrial water systems. This drive covers IEC ratings up to 160 kW (293 A, 400 V) and UL ratings up to 200 Hp (260 A, 480 V), with IP21 protection by default and IP42/IP54 variants available for harsher environments. Features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump and level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection address common pump challenges while maximizing efficiency via the built-in energy calculator. Coupled with the Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel, it accelerates commissioning and remote operation. This combination delivers lower lifecycle costs and easier maintenance for municipal and industrial pumping projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000049040 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.
Cabinet-built integration simplifies installation and maintenance. By housing the drive and pump-app features in a single enclosure, it reduces wiring complexity, speeds commissioning, and minimizes control cabinet space. This is ideal for new plants or retrofits in water treatment and wastewater facilities, where compact footprint and reliability matter. Sensorless flow calculation and energy calculator deliver measurable efficiency gains. With sensorless flow, the drive adapts to changing head and load, optimizing pump speed without external sensors. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, supporting energy-management targets and audit trails. Multipump control and level control enable coordinated operation and protection. In multi-pump loops, the drive sequences pumps to match demand while preventing dry-run and surges, reducing wear and energy use. These features are especially valuable for managing basins and equalizing tanks. Protective features and performance in harsh environments. Dry-run protection reduces damage during startup; impeller cleaning helps keep pumps clean; soft pipe fill reduces water hammer. IP21 standard and IP42/IP54 options provide installation flexibility. Usability and compatibility. Hand-Off-Auto control panel and Drive Composer PC tool streamline setup, diagnostics, and parameter changes, while optional Bluetooth panel enables field tuning. The drive supports IEC 400 V and UL 480 V systems up to 160 kW/200 Hp, making it easy to replace legacy drives without major rewiring.

FAQs
The ABB ACQ580 cabinet-built LV drive is designed for water and wastewater pumping, providing integrated pump control and protective features. It supports IEC ratings up to 160 kW (293 A at 400 V) and UL ratings up to 200 Hp (260 A at 480 V). The drive includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump and level control, and dry-run protection to optimize system performance.
Installation benefits include a compact, cabinet-built enclosure that reduces wiring complexity and speeds commissioning. The standard IP21 rating is suitable for indoor applications, with IP42 or IP54 variants available for harsher environments. The drive can be configured for 400 V IEC or 480 V UL systems, simplifying integration with existing facility power networks.
Sensorless flow calculation optimizes pump speed in response to varying head and load, delivering energy savings without additional sensors. Multipump control coordinates multiple pumps to match demand, reducing head fluctuations and extending pump life. Level control and quick ramp features further minimize surge and startup wear, improving overall reliability in wastewater applications.
Yes, the ACQ580-07-0293A-4 configuration is UL-listed for use in relevant US electrical environments. It supports UL ratings up to 200 Hp and 260 A at 480 V, and is compatible with 400 V IEC power supplies. This makes it suitable for US facilities requiring UL-listed motor drives in water and wastewater systems.
ROI benefits come from measured energy savings via the built-in energy calculator, reduced downtime through dry-run protection, and extended pump life from optimized ramping and protection features. Maintenance is simplified by cabinet integration, fewer field connections, and accessible diagnostics via Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth panel, speeding fault isolation and routine servicing.
