ABB 3AXD50000268818 LV AC wall-mounted drive - UL listed, IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000268818
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000268818 LV AC wall-mounted drive is a variable-frequency drive designed for water and wastewater pumping applications. Operators often struggle with energy waste, pump wear, and tuning delays that disrupt throughput. This drive combines sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and dry-run protection, with an energy calculator that quantifies efficiency gains. Standard IP21 enclosures are suitable for many plant installations, while IP55 and flange-mount options extend service in harsher environments. Coupled with a Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and an optional Bluetooth panel, it delivers measurable business value through easier commissioning and remote support.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268818 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 reduces the need for external meters, cutting upfront and ongoing instrumentation costs while enabling precise pump performance. This translates to faster commissioning and fewer field failures in municipal water and wastewater pumping. Multipump control and level control enable coordinated sequencing, lowering cycling, preventing overflows, and delivering energy savings through optimized pump runs in lift stations and treatment plants. Dry-run protection safeguards motors during low-flow conditions, while soft pipe fill minimizes water hammer and pressure spikes, extending pump life and reducing maintenance events. The built-in energy calculator visualizes real-time savings, supporting ongoing optimization and budgeting for utilities. Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel streamline setup, diagnostics, and field adjustments, reducing Downtime and service calls. The compact, wall-mounted form factor simplifies retrofits in space-constrained facilities and supports quick deployment with IP21 standard and IP55 alternative.

FAQs
Yes. The 3AXD50000268818 is designed as a wall-mounted LV AC drive for pumping in water and wastewater plants. It supports compact installation on walls and, with IP21 standard enclosures (and IP55 variants), it fits both indoor plant rooms and harsher environments. Its Hands-On-Auto interface and Drive Composer simplify mounting, wiring, and initial parameter setup for quick commissioning.
Key specs include 460 V AC input, 88 A current rating, and a 30 HP output capability. The drive offers sensorless flow calculation, soft-start ramps, and dry-run protection. It is UL listed and supports energy management features via the built-in energy calculator, enabling precise and efficient motor control for water pumping applications.
The ABB AC wall-mounted drive excels in municipal water and wastewater pumping, lift stations, and industrial pumping systems with multiple pumps. Its multipump control and level sensing optimize sequencing, reduce energy usage, and improve reliability in applications with fluctuating demand or multiple parallel pumps.
The drive is UL listed and is offered with IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for tougher environments. These features support regulatory compliance and installation in both standard plant rooms and more demanding locations typical of water treatment facilities.
By enabling sensorless flow control, dry-run protection, and built-in energy calculation, the drive reduces pump wear, minimizes unplanned downtime, and provides quantified energy savings. Easy commissioning with Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth panels lowers field service time, accelerating payback and improving total cost of ownership for utilities and industrial operators.
