Operators often struggle with energy waste, unstable flow, and complex pump tuning across multiple machines. It carries CE marking, UL listing, and IP-rated enclosures (IP21 standard with IP42/IP54 variants) to meet safety and environmental requirements. This solution also integrates with Drive Composer and offers a handheld or Bluetooth interface, delivering clear business value through energy efficiency, simplified maintenance, and scalable pump control for municipal and industrial plants.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000050479 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.
Built-in pump application features streamline operation by delivering sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level control. The business impact is tighter regulation of pump performance, reduced instrumentation costs, and minimized unwanted start-stops, which translates to lower energy use. This is particularly applicable to municipal water and wastewater lift stations where precise coordination prevents surging and improves overall process stability. The energy calculator visualization supports data-driven decisions during commissioning and operation, helping utilities demonstrate compliance with efficiency targets and achieve faster return on investment. Hand-Off-Auto control panels, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth enable rapid commissioning, remote diagnostics, and straightforward parameter transfer, reducing field labor and risk during plant upgrades. Dry run protection, soft ramps, and an integrated impeller-cleaning concept protect pumps from wear and fouling, delivering longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs in corrosive or abrasive wastewater environments. The enclosure options—IP21 by default with IP42/IP54 variants—coupled with a compact cabinet design simplify installation in constrained plant rooms while ensuring protection against dust and moisture, enabling reliable operation in demanding water utility applications.

FAQs
Begin with selecting an IP54-rated enclosure suitable for outdoor or harsh indoor environments, connect to a 400 V supply, and configure protective functions via the Hand-Off-Auto panel or Drive Composer. The cabinet-built design simplifies mounting and wiring, while EMI considerations and proper grounding ensure regulatory compliance and reliable operation in utility environments.
The drive provides a nominal 400 kW rating with 725 A at 400 V, and a UL-rated variant of Pld 600 Hp, 705 A at 480 V. IP21 is standard, with IP42/IP54 options available. These specs support large-water-pumping applications, enabling smooth starts, precise speed control, and robust performance under varying load conditions.
The drive is CE-marked and UL-listed, reflecting compliance with European and North American safety standards. Enclosures are IP-rated, with IP21 standard and IP42/IP54 variants for enhanced protection in damp or dusty environments, making the solution suitable for municipal and industrial water facilities that require regulatory assurance.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates pump flow without external sensors, enabling precise control of water transfer and energy use. When paired with multipump control and level management, utilities experience reduced energy consumption, less wear on components, and simplified instrumentation, which lowers total cost of ownership and supports tighter compliance with efficiency targets.
Maintenance is simplified by features like dry-run protection, soft ramping, and an energy calculator for ongoing performance monitoring. ABB offers Drive Composer for diagnostics, a Bluetooth control option for remote access, and access to local service networks for firmware updates and spare parts, minimizing unplanned downtime and extending asset life.
