ABB 3AXD50000269044 LV AC wall-mounted drive - UL Pld 250 Hp
Part Number: 3AXD50000269044
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000269044 LV AC wall-mounted drive delivers efficient pumping control for water and wastewater applications. Operators often contend with energy waste, pump wear, and dry-run incidents in long-running pumping duties. This drive carries UL listing (UL Pld 250 Hp, 242 A, 575 V) and an IP21 enclosure standard, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available to fit harsh plant environments. In addition, integrated features such as sensorless flow calculation, multi-pump control, level sensing, and an energy calculator support measurable savings and easier commissioning, while familiar interfaces like Hand-Off-Auto and Drive Composer streamline maintenance. This combination minimizes downtime, enables compliant operation, and reduces lifecycle costs in municipal and industrial water plants.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000269044 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.
Feature set includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and precise level sensing, enabling the drive to adapt to fluctuating demands without external sensors. This translates into lower energy consumption, reduced maintenance costs, and extended pump life as head and flow are matched to real-time process conditions. Application-wise, this combination is ideal for municipal water systems, lift stations, and wastewater treatment trains with multiple pumps that must respond quickly to changing loads while maintaining stable pressures. Dry-run protection detects stalled or underflow conditions and automatically stops the pump to prevent motor overheating, cavitation, and seal damage. Paired with robust level control, this reduces run-time failures and unplanned outages in remote or underground pump rooms where access for service is limited. Soft pipe fill and fast ramping minimize water hammer and hydraulic shocks, reducing mechanical stress on pipes, valves, and fittings in both new installations and retrofit projects. An integrated energy calculator provides on-drive visibility of energy use, enabling accurate ROI assessments and compliance reporting for water utilities and industrial plants. The optional Bluetooth control panel and Drive Composer PC tool deliver rapid diagnostics, streamlined commissioning, and easier ongoing maintenance, which translates into lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value for modernization projects. Field experiences show energy management features can cut peak demand charges in systems with frequent VFD operation. Hardware flexibility supports installation in space-constrained pump rooms, with standard IP21 enclosure and available IP55 or flange-mount configurations for outdoor or harsh environments. Wall mounting saves floor space, while a 575 V, 242 A, 250 Hp rating ensures compatibility with mid-to-large pumping loads common in municipal and industrial water infrastructure. The drive integrates smoothly with ABB automation ecosystems and common SCADA interfaces, reducing integration risk and accelerating plant upgrades.

FAQs
The 575 V, 242 A, 250 Hp drive is approved for water and wastewater applications and ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard. Optional IP55 and flange-mount configurations expand installation flexibility for harsher environments or space-constrained setups. Install on a wall, wire the drive per the manual, and utilize the HOA switch, Drive Composer, and the optional Bluetooth panel for commissioning and field tests.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates system flow without external sensors, enabling accurate pump modulation and reliable process control. Multipump control coordinates several pumps to match demand, reducing energy use and wear while maintaining stable pressures. This is particularly advantageous in municipal treatment trains and lift stations with varying loads.
Dry-run protection detects stalled or underflow conditions and can automatically stop the pump to prevent motor overheating, cavitation, and seal damage. Level control helps maintain desired fluid levels, avoiding run-dry scenarios and surge events. Together they improve reliability in lift stations and basins where fluid levels fluctuate and access is limited.
The energy calculator provides on-drive visibility of energy use, enabling ROI assessments and compliance reporting for utilities and industrial plants. The Drive Composer PC tool and optional Bluetooth panel offer rapid diagnostics, streamlined commissioning, and easier maintenance, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership for modernization projects and ongoing operations.
The drive has UL listing for the 250 Hp, 242 A, 575 V variant and ships with an IP21 enclosure, with IP55 and flange-mount options available. These certifications support regulatory compliance in water utilities, while the wall-mounted form factor and available mounting variants simplify installation in constrained pump rooms and outdoor locations.
