Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268832 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 instrumentation needs and wiring complexity while maintaining precise flow estimation, delivering tangible energy savings and extended pump life in water networks. This translates to lower electricity costs and reduced maintenance cycles for municipal plants and industrial water facilities. Multipump control enables coordinated operation of multiple pumps, optimizing duty cycles to minimize peak demand and avoid unnecessary starts, which improves reliability in wastewater plants. Level control and dry run protection protect pumps from dry running and cavitation, lowering repair costs and extending service intervals in variable load scenarios. Soft pipe fill and quick ramps reduce water hammer and pressure transients, preserving pipework and valves in aging infrastructure. The built-in energy calculator makes ongoing optimization actionable, supporting ROI tracking and decision-making for energy projects. Hand-Off-Auto control and Drive Composer PC tool streamline commissioning, while the optional Bluetooth panel enables on-site adjustments without a full panel swap. Compatibility with IP21 standard enclosures and IP55/flange mounting options offers installation flexibility across plant layouts and environmental conditions.

FAQs
When integrating the ABB 3AXD50000268832, plan for a 460 V supply capable of 143 A and ensure adequate space for a wall-mounted IP21 enclosure. Utilize the Hand-Off-Auto panel for basic operator control and the Drive Composer PC tool for setup. Consider optional IP55 or flange mounting for harsher environments and verify compatibility with existing sensors and pump circuits to maximize the benefit of sensorless flow and multipump features.
The drive includes sensorless flow calculation to estimate pump flow without external sensors, and dry run protection to prevent motor damage when the pump runs dry. Additional features such as level control, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps help minimize wear and energy use. Together, these capabilities support reliable operation in water and wastewater applications and reduce unplanned downtime.
Yes. The ABB unit supports multipump control, allowing coordinated operation of multiple pumps to match demand. This reduces start-stop cycling, improves energy efficiency, and minimizes pressure fluctuations in wastewater networks. For installation, ensure control logic and instrumentation are set up to manage pump sequencing and alarms from the Drive Composer or the H-O-A panel.
The model is UL-listed for the specified configuration, and the standard enclosure is IP21 with IP55 and flange mounting options available. In water treatment projects, UL listing confirms electrical safety and compliance, while IP ratings indicate suitability for indoor or moderately damp environments and offer installation flexibility across plant layouts.
The built‑in energy calculator visualizes expected energy savings from efficient pump operation, enabling better budgeting and justification for upgrades. By reducing pump wear and optimizing duty cycles, it lowers electricity costs and maintenance intervals. Over time, this supports a favorable return on investment and evidence-based maintenance planning.
