FAQs
For reliable installation, mount the drive on a clean, vibration-free wall within the IP21 enclosure by default, with proper clearance for heat dissipation and ventilation. Use the Hand-Off-Auto panel for local control and the Drive Composer PC tool for commissioning. Ensure wiring complies with local electrical codes and that input power matches 230 V nominal supply. Optional IP55 or flange mounting units can broaden site applicability in harsher environments.
The unit delivers up to 7.5 kW (Pn) with a listed current of 31.2 A at 230 V AC. It provides sensorless flow calculation, level and multipump control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection. These specs enable efficient, protected pumping in water and wastewater systems, supporting precise flow regulation and reduced energy usage across municipal and industrial applications.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 variant supports multipump control, enabling automatic sequencing and optimized pump selection based on demand, which improves energy efficiency and reduces mechanical wear. It is particularly beneficial in wastewater lift stations and treatment facilities where varying flow and level conditions require rapid, reliable pump switching without impacting system stability.
The drive is CE compliant for safe operation and meets standard enclosure ratings with IP21 as the baseline. Optional IP55 and flange-mount variants extend protection against dust and water ingress in tougher environments. Protective features such as dry-run protection and sensorless flow control contribute to safer operation and reduced risk of pump damage in challenging site conditions.
The built-in energy calculator helps quantify savings by analyzing flow and speed profiles, supporting ongoing optimization and regulatory reporting. Dry-run protection minimizes unscheduled maintenance, while sensorless control reduces sensor costs and points of failure. Together, these features shorten commissioning time, lower energy bills, and extend pump life in water and wastewater installations.
