FAQs
The ACQ580-01-06A1-6+P918 is a wall-mounted LV drive designed for water and wastewater applications with standard IP21 protection and optional IP55 and flange mounting units. It is compatible with 600 V AC systems and supports typical pump configurations used in municipal and industrial water networks. For retrofits, verify existing mounting space, wiring channels, and enclosure access; use the Drive Composer PC tool for configuration to minimize field wiring changes and optimize commissioning time.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow rates without external sensors, enabling responsive VFD control that matches demand variations. This reduces energy consumption during low-demand periods, lowers mechanical wear during rapid transients, and improves overall pump efficiency in pump stations and wastewater lift stations where flow patterns are dynamic.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-06A1-6+P918 supports multipump control, coordinating several pumps to optimize overall system performance. It helps balance head, flow, and energy usage, reduces cycling, and ensures reliable operation even under fluctuating influent conditions commonly found in wastewater treatment and filtration facilities.
The device includes CE marking for regulatory compliance and standard IP21 protection with optional IP55, aligning with typical industrial and municipal requirements. For sensitive environments, consider IP55 flange-mount options and verify local electrical standards to ensure full compliance in your installation.
Key ROI drivers include energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced unplanned downtime due to dry run protection, and extended pump life from soft-start ramps and controlled acceleration. Drive Composer and Bluetooth panel options streamline commissioning and remote diagnostics, reducing maintenance visits and improving asset-management analytics for utilities and facilities.
