Part Number: 3AXD50000268849
Quick Summary
ABB LV AC wall-mounted drive is a compact control solution for pumping systems in water and wastewater applications. It addresses the challenge of balancing fluctuating demand with energy costs and the risk of dry-run damage. The unit ships CE compliant and UL listed, with an IP21 enclosure as standard and optional IP55 or flange mounting for tougher installations. Built-in features like sensorless flow calculation, energy calculator, and multipump/level control translate into predictable performance and lower operating costs. Coupled with intuitive Hand-Off-Auto operation and the Drive Composer PC tool, this drive speeds deployment for municipal and industrial water and wastewater projects. End users also gain improved maintenance visibility and remote support options to reduce downtime and optimize lifecycle costs.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268849 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 flow sensors, cutting installation time and wiring while delivering accurate pump operating points. This directly lowers upfront CAPEX and ongoing maintenance costs, particularly in water treatment and wastewater pumping stations where sensor reliability is critical. Multipump control and level control enable coordinated sequencing, improving system balance and reducing peak electrical demand for facilities with multiple pumps. The business impact is smoother operation, reduced wear, and lower energy usage, with best-fit applications in lift stations and municipal networks. Dry-run protection and quick ramps safeguard impellers and bearings during start/stop cycles, extending pump life and minimizing unscheduled downtime in municipal water systems. Soft pipe fill further minimizes surge events, protecting piping networks and reducing maintenance costs in high-flow setups. The drive’s intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel shorten commissioning time and enable remote diagnostics, which translates into faster project delivery and reduced on-site visits. An integrated energy calculator quantifies savings opportunities, supporting data-driven maintenance planning and long-term ROI for utilities. The standard IP21 enclosure keeps installation straightforward on walls, while IP55 and flange-mount options broaden suitability for harsher environments and exposed facilities.

FAQs
The drive is designed for 460 V AC systems and 169 A current, with a compact wall-mounted footprint. It ships in an IP21 enclosure by default and supports additional IP55 or flange mounting options, making it suitable for municipal water and industrial wastewater installations. Ensure proper clearance for cooling and wiring, and verify motor assigns align with the 60 Hp rating.
Key energy-saving features include sensorless flow calculation, an integrated energy calculator, and precise motor control with soft ramps and dry-run protection. These capabilities optimize pump operating points, reduce unnecessary motor speed variation, and lower overall energy consumption in water and wastewater applications.
Best suited for water and wastewater pumping where single or multiple pumps are used, such as municipal lift stations, treatment plant pumps, and remote septic systems. The multipump control, level sensing, and quick ramp features help maintain consistent head pressure and reliable flow, even under fluctuating demand.
The drive is CE compliant and UL listed, with a standard IP21 enclosure. For harsher environments, IP55 enclosure and flange mounting options are available, supporting installation in exposed outdoor or industrial settings while maintaining protection against dust and water ingress.
Expect reduced energy costs from optimized pump operation, extended pump life from dry-run protection and smooth startup, and fewer on-site maintenance visits due to remote diagnostics and Drive Composer tooling. The integrated energy calculator also enables data-driven maintenance planning and clearer budgeting for municipal and industrial water assets.
