Part Number: 3AXD50000359332
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-31 drive delivers energy-efficient pump control for water and wastewater applications. Too many installations struggle with harmonic distortion, wasted energy, and equipment wear caused by suboptimal drive performance. This drive ships with an integrated low-harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, delivering THDi under 3% and reducing the need for external filters. The standard IP21 enclosure, plus optional IP55 or flange mounting, keeps installation flexible across demanding plant layouts. Designed to meet low harmonic standards and recommendations. With Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and an optional Bluetooth panel, commissioning is faster and maintenance costs are lower, delivering measurable improvements in energy efficiency and overall equipment effectiveness.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000359332 ABB: The ACQ580-31 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. The ultra-low harmonic variant provides ultimate harmonic performance, reaching even less than 3 % THDi, and exceeding the requirements set by low harmonic standards and recommendations. The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers.
Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction. 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 ultra-low harmonic wall-mounted variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Ultra-low harmonic performance with integrated line filter improves grid quality and reduces energy waste, delivering THDi under 3% and minimizing the need for external harmonic mitigation devices. This translates to lower electrical losses, fewer filter components, and simplified compliance for municipal and industrial pump stations. The drive also features output voltage boost and power factor correction, which enhances motor efficiency and can reduce demand charges in larger facilities. Built-in pump application capabilities—sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection—streamline control logic, extend impeller life, and reduce maintenance cycles in demanding water or wastewater systems. Quick ramps and a dedicated impeller cleaning solution support gentle pump startup and reduced wear, even with high-static head or multi-pump configurations. The Hand-Off-Auto interface, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel accelerate commissioning and ongoing service, lowering total cost of ownership. Space-saving wall-mounted design and integrated supply unit simplify installation and integration with existing plant controls, while IP21 is standard with IP55 and flange options expanding installation flexibility across utilities and industrial sites. All features come together to deliver measurable efficiency gains, improved reliability, and a smoother integration path with ABB’s drive ecosystem.

FAQs
The ABB ACQ580-31 Drive is designed for straightforward integration with typical ABB and common fieldbus setups used in water and wastewater facilities. Its wall-mounted format and integrated supply unit simplify mounting, while the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panel and Drive Composer PC tool support smooth commissioning. For multi-vendor control schemes, verify PLC I/O compatibility and ensure compatible communication protocols are available on site.
THDi under 3% significantly reduces electrical distortion, improving grid power quality and enabling compliant operation in tight harmonic environments. The integrated low harmonic line filter eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse transformers, simplifying installation, reducing upfront costs, and lowering ongoing maintenance in pump stations with high duty cycles.
Yes. The ACQ580-31 is purpose-built for water and wastewater pumping, offering sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and dry run protection. Its IP21 enclosure (with IP55 and flange options) supports diverse plant layouts, while energy-saving features like output voltage boost and PF correction help optimize pump efficiency and reduce energy costs in municipal networks and industrial water systems.
The product is designed for low harmonic compliance and standard industrial use, with IP21 as the baseline enclosure and optional IP55 or flange mounting for harsher environments. When planning installation, consider space for a wall-mounted unit, ensure adequate ventilation, and align control interfaces with existing HMI/SCADA for seamless operation and maintenance access.
Energy efficiency improves through PF correction and reduced harmonic distortion, cutting operating costs in pulsating pump loads. Integrated features reduce external hardware and simplify maintenance, lowering lifecycle costs. The combined benefits of longer pump life, fewer filters, and easier commissioning translate to faster payback and a lower total cost of ownership for water/wastewater projects.
