Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000268993 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.
Built-in pump application features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and an impeller-cleaning solution. These capabilities reduce instrumentation needs, minimize start-up shocks, and extend pump life by delivering precise, coordinated control of head and flow. The drive is especially well-suited for municipal water facilities and industrial wastewater stations that require reliable multi-pump sequencing and robust protection in demanding environments, and scalable diagnostics dashboards. An integrated energy calculator visualizes real-time energy savings and supports data-driven optimization projects. By modeling load profiles, system head, and motor speed, operators can justify upgrades, benchmark efficiency, and track ROI with confidence. This capability translates to tangible cost reductions across peak usage periods and regulatory compliance reporting for energy performance programs. Usability is enhanced through the Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tooling, and an optional Bluetooth control panel. These features speed commissioning, simplify on-site tuning, and enable remote diagnostics, reducing downtime and field labor in multi-site deployments. All settings are saved in user profiles for consistency across sites. Protection and reliability are reinforced with dry run protection, sensorless control, and gentle ramping that minimize mechanical wear and protect pumps from damage. The approach lowers maintenance spend, reduces unscheduled outages, and extends asset life in critical pumping installations. In wastewater and water treatment plants, this translates to improved service continuity and operator confidence. Enclosure and mounting options provide installation flexibility: IP21 is standard, with IP55 flange-mount variants available. The wall-mounted form factor simplifies placement in confined plant spaces, simplifies cable routing, and reduces installation time. Across municipal utilities and industrial plants, this drive delivers scalable, robust pump control that supports both new builds and retrofit projects.

FAQs
Install in a suitable wall location near the pump assembly, ensuring clearance for wiring, ventilation, and service access. Use the IP21-rated enclosure (IP55 option where needed) and route cables per ABB guidelines to reduce heat buildup. Plan for 575 V supply and verify the 75 Hp, 77 A rating to avoid overload, and use Drive Composer for initial programming and testing before field start-up.
The drive provides 75 Hp output at 575 V with up to 77 A, designed for water and wastewater pump loads. It includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and soft-start ramps to minimize electrical and mechanical stress. Efficiency gains come from variable-speed operation and optimized head-to-flow, with energy calculations to quantify savings for budgeting and regulatory reporting.
Sensorless flow calculation is supported and eliminates the need for external flow sensors in many applications. This reduces installation cost and wiring complexity while maintaining accurate control of pump speed to match system demand. Benefit: smoother operation, fewer sensor failures, and improved duty-cycle management in multi-pump configurations common in water treatment and wastewater lift stations.
ABB lists UL certification and IP-rated enclosures for this drive. The standard IP21 enclosure provides basic protection, while IP55 flange-mount variants offer higher ingress protection in damp or dirty environments. These specifications support compliance with common municipal and industrial electrical standards and improve reliability in pump installations subject to splash, humidity, or wash-down conditions.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized speed control, reduced wear from soft-start ramps, and fewer unplanned outages due to dry-run protection. The built-in energy calculator provides measurable savings data for reports and funding requests. Additionally, Drive Composer with optional Bluetooth enables faster commissioning and remote diagnostics, lowering field service costs across multiple stations.
