ABB 3AXD50000268894 LV Drive - IP21/IP55 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AXD50000268894
Quick Summary
ABB LV AC wall-mounted drive for water and wastewater applications provides advanced pump control and energy efficiency. Operators often contend with wasted energy, erratic flow, and unplanned downtime, which this drive helps mitigate through sensorless flow calculation, level control, and dry-run protection. The solution is CE‑certified and offered in an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options to suit harsher environments. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool integration, and an optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning and remote monitoring. By delivering actionable visibility into energy usage and pump performance, this drive translates into tangible reductions in operating costs and maintenance overhead for municipal and industrial pumping systems.

FAQs
The ACQ580-01 LV drive is designed for wall mounting with standard IP21 protection and optional IP55 or flange mounting variants. Begin by selecting the appropriate enclosure, mount on a stable wall, connect power and motor cables per wiring diagrams, and configure through the Hand-Off-Auto panel or Drive Composer software for pump sequencing, level control, and safety protections.
Key features include sensorless flow calculation for accurate control, energy calculator visualization, and soft start ramps. These capabilities reduce throttling losses and motor wear, delivering measurable energy savings in water and wastewater pumping stations and helping meet regulatory energy targets.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control and level management, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps to optimize sequencing, reduce cycling, and improve reliability in lift stations and treatment plant influent/outlet processes.
The base model ships with an IP21 enclosure, and IP55 and flange-mounting options are available to expand protection against dust, water ingress, and mounting flexibility in harsher environments, compliant with CE standards for European installations.
By reducing energy consumption through efficient pump control and preventing dry-run damage, the drive lowers operating costs and maintenance frequency. Remote configuration and monitoring via Drive Composer and Bluetooth options also minimize site visits, accelerating deployment and improving asset reliability.
