ABB ACQ580-01 Drive 3AXD50000268443 - IP21/IP55
Part Number: 3AXD50000268443
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-01 Drive is a LV AC wall-mounted drive that optimizes water and wastewater pumping. Engineers often contend with energy waste, pump wear, and complex control schemes. Its IP21 enclosure is standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options, CE-compliant design, plus sensorless flow calculation, dry-run protection, and level control to protect equipment. The built-in energy calculator and Drive Composer PC tool simplify commissioning, while optional Bluetooth control extends field access, delivering clear reductions in energy use and maintenance cost. Together, these features translate to lower total cost of ownership for municipal water utilities and industrial pump installations.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268443 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.
Sensorless flow calculation delivers precise pump control without external flow meters, reducing capital costs and simplifying maintenance while maintaining accurate dosing and throughput for water and wastewater applications. This translates to lower energy consumption and fewer calibration requirements in day-to-day operations, particularly in municipal pump stations. Multipump control coordinates several pumps, optimizing run times, cutting unnecessary starts and stops, and extending pump life while minimizing energy spikes during peak demand periods. Level control and dry-run protection guard against overfilling and dry running, protecting both pumps and downstream processes and reducing unplanned shutdowns. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize water hammer and pressure surges, reducing pipe and valve wear and improving system stability during startup. The built-in energy calculator, plus Drive Composer PC tool and optional Bluetooth panel, streamline commissioning, enable remote diagnostics, and support ongoing efficiency tracking. IP21 standard enclosure is complemented by IP55 and flange mounting options, giving installation flexibility for wall-mounted retrofits in crowded plant spaces. Field deployments consistently report measurable energy savings and longer pump life with these integrated features.

FAQs
The ABB ACQ580-01 Drive is designed for LV AC motors in the 208-240 V range and wall-mounted installations. It supports Hand-Off-Auto operation, is compatible with the Drive Composer PC tool, and can be integrated into existing control schemes. For multi-pump systems, the drive supports multipump control to optimize sequencing and reduce wear. In retrofit projects, its IP21 enclosure and optional IP55/flange mounting options provide flexible mounting and wiring routes to minimize rework.
Sensorless flow calculation enables accurate flow control without external meters, reducing installation costs and potential sensor drift. It improves startup and running efficiency, particularly in varying water head conditions typical of municipal and industrial pumping. This capability helps maintain target flow and head while lowering maintenance requirements and spare-part inventory related to flow measurement devices.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 is designed for water and wastewater pumping, offering level control, dry-run protection, multipump coordination, and robust protection against abnormal operating conditions. For municipal installations, IP21 is the standard enclosure with IP55 as an option, enabling secure wall mounting in plant rooms or outdoor-adjacent spaces when paired with appropriate mounting hardware.
Key considerations include IP ratings, with IP21 as standard and IP55 available, providing protection suitable for indoor and some outdoor environments. The design also follows CE-related compliance practices common for ABB drives in this class. For critical safety and regulatory needs, verify site-specific requirements and confirm any additional certifications with ABB’s regional representatives.
The built-in energy calculator enables quantifiable energy savings, while sensorless control and dry-run protection reduce wear and maintenance frequency. Multipump control lowers operating costs by optimizing pump sequencing. Overall, customers typically see lower total cost of ownership through reduced energy usage, fewer sensor failures, and longer pump life, offsetting initial retrofit or installation costs.
