Part Number: 3AXD50000268689
Quick Summary
The ABB 3AXD50000268689 LV AC wall-mounted drive delivers precise pump control for water and wastewater installations. Industry operators face energy waste and unexpected dry-run events; this drive uses sensorless flow calculation, level control, and quick ramps to minimize that risk. UL-listed for 150 Hp at 575 V, it ships in a standard IP21 enclosure with IP55 mounting options to suit harsher environments. With Drive Composer, Hand-Off-Auto, and optional Bluetooth control, it provides visibility, ease of commissioning, and ongoing cost savings across water and wastewater treatment plants. This combination supports energy management programs and long-term asset reliability.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268689 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 and multipump control deliver precise pump speed and coordinated operation, cutting energy waste and reducing start-stop cycling in multi-pump trains. This enables facilities to balance demand and maintain steady flows without costly external sensors. Application: water and wastewater pumping stations seeking reliable, energy-efficient operation. Level control and dry-run protection safeguard pumps from running dry and from over- or under-supply conditions, minimizing downtime and wear on bearings and seals. Application: lift stations and treatment basins where accurate level management is essential. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps reduce water hammer and mechanical stress during startup, protecting pipes, valves, and joints while meeting tight commissioning windows. Application: municipal networks with variable loads. Built-in energy calculator visualizes potential energy savings and supports ongoing optimization programs, helping operators benchmark performance, justify upgrades, and track ROI. Application: energy management initiatives across plant portfolios. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel shorten commissioning time and enable remote diagnostics, improving technician efficiency and reducing on-site visits. Application: plant-wide deployments and service programs. Enclosure and mounting flexibility, with standard IP21 protection and IP55 option, simplifies installation on walls or in cabinets while maintaining reliability in damp environments. Compatibility with ABB pump-oriented features and sensorless algorithms supports scalable upgrades across existing frames and future expansions.
