Part Number: 3AXD50000114771
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-31 Water Ultra Low-Harmonic Drive powers water and wastewater pumps with ultra-low harmonic distortion. This addresses the common pain of harmonics, excessive filtering, and complex wiring that drives up installation time and lifecycle costs. The solution is CE-compliant with an IP21 standard enclosure and offers optional IP55 or flange mounting for rugged environments, aligning with site-specific requirements. Built to simplify deployment, it enables efficient pump control and seamless integration with automation systems, reducing maintenance overhead and accelerating project timelines. For engineers and procurement teams, the combination of compact design, integrated features, and clear energy benefits translates to lower total cost of ownership and predictable performance across municipal and industrial applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000114771 ABB: The ACQ580-31 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. The ultra-low harmonic variant provides ultimate harmonic performance, reaching even less than 3 % THDi, and exceeding the requirements set by low harmonic standards and recommendations. The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers.
Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction. 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 ultra-low harmonic wall-mounted variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.

FAQs
Begin with confirming the IP rating requirement (IP21 standard, IP55 option available) and ensure CE compliance. Use the built-in Hand-Off-Auto panel for local control and Drive Composer for configuration. The integrated low-harmonic filter reduces external components, while the compact wall-mounted design minimizes cabinet space and wiring complexity.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic distortion with THDi below 3%, thanks to the integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit. This minimizes voltage distortion, reduces emissions on the electrical network, and eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements, simplifying compliance and installation.
Yes. It is designed for water and wastewater pumping, offering sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection, soft fill, and quick ramping. These features improve operational reliability, protect pumps from dry running, and optimize energy use across multiple pumps.
The drive is CE-compliant and available in an IP21 enclosure with IP55 and flange-mount options. These ratings support installation in protected indoor spaces or harsher environments, while maintaining regulatory compliance and alignment with low-harmonic standards.
Expect reduced CAPEX from eliminating external filters and transformers, faster commissioning with Drive Composer, improved pump efficiency through voltage boost and PF correction, and lower maintenance costs due to integrated features and protection mechanisms, delivering a favorable payback in typical municipal pumping scenarios.
