FAQs
ABB ACQ580-01 drives are designed for wall mounting with a standard IP21 enclosure. For harsher environments, IP55 enclosures and flange mounting units are available to suit process plants. The unit supports Hand-Off-Auto operation, configuration via Drive Composer PC tool, and a Bluetooth control panel option, enabling rapid, error-free installation and commissioning.
Key electrical specs include a 575 V supply, a 62 A current rating, and a 60 HP power rating, aligning with typical municipal water and wastewater pump loads. The drive also provides protective features such as dry-run protection and soft ramping to minimize mechanical stress, helping maintain pump life and reduce maintenance costs.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 offers sensorless flow calculation to estimate pump flow without external sensors and multipump control to operate two or more pumps from a single drive. Level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection further optimize startup, reduce water hammer, and cut energy waste in typical water-wastewater applications.
The drive provides an energy calculator and energy-saving features that quantify and realize cost reductions over time. Dry-run protection minimizes pump damage, while easy commissioning via Drive Composer and a handheld H-O-A control panel lowers installation and maintenance labor. Overall, operators achieve lower energy bills and longer equipment life.
Ideal for municipal water treatment, wastewater pumping stations, and industrial water handling where a compact footprint, reliable protection features, and energy efficiency are critical. The IP21 standard enclosure with IP55/flange mounting options supports flexible deployments, while built-in pump functions reduce peak loads and improve process stability.
