ABB 3AXD50000269037 AC Drive - UL 200 Hp, 575 V, IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000269037
Quick Summary
AC drive technology enables precise motor control for water and wastewater pumping systems. Many operators struggle with energy waste, pump cavitation, and difficult integration with existing PLCs. The ACQ580-01 variant from ABB delivers reliable wall-mounted performance with a UL listing for up to 200 Hp and a 575 V rating, plus IP21 protection (with IP55 options). This combination supports efficient, safe operation in municipal and industrial water facilities, reducing maintenance downtime while improving process control. By embedding pump-specific features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level handling, the drive aligns with maintenance strategies and energy targets. For engineers and procurement teams, it translates to lower lifecycle costs and smoother commissioning, especially when paired with Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth control.

FAQs
Installation requires securing a wall-mounted, IP21-rated enclosure with adequate clearance for cooling and service access. Plan for proper wiring to 575 V motors rated up to 200 Hp, and ensure compatibility with existing PLC/SCADA interfaces. Use the Hand-Off-Auto panel or Drive Composer PC tool for commissioning, and verify IP55 upgrades if harsher environments are anticipated.
Sensorless flow calculation provides real-time pump flow estimation without external meters, improving control accuracy and reducing instrumentation costs. This enables tighter flow regulation, faster response to demand changes, and energy savings across variable-speed pumping. It’s particularly beneficial in fluctuating wastewater loads and water distribution networks where precise dosing and pressure control matter.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control to sequence pumps efficiently and level control to maintain tank levels, preventing dry runs and excessive cycling. This is ideal for lift stations and treatment plants, where coordinated pumping reduces wear, minimizes energy peaks, and ensures continuous process performance even during demand spikes.
The drive is UL-listed and offers IP21 enclosure by default with IP55 and flange-mount options available. These certifications and enclosures address electrical safety and environmental protection, supporting regulatory compliance in municipal and industrial water projects and enabling easier approvals for installation in wet or damp environments.
Expected ROI stems from energy savings driven by efficient VFD operation, reduced mechanical wear due to soft-start capabilities and dry-run protection, and lower maintenance costs from fewer external sensors. With features like sensorless flow, energy calculator, and easier commissioning via Drive Composer, projects typically see faster payback and improved system uptime in municipal pumping applications.
