Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000418015 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 → Sensorless flow calculation enables pump flow estimation without external sensors, delivering precise, responsive speed control and reduced instrumentation cost. Impact → You gain improved efficiency and simpler maintenance since fewer analog sensors require calibration and fault handling. Application → Particularly effective in municipal water and wastewater pumping stations where pipe networks complicate traditional flow metering. Feature → Multipump control coordinates several pumps within a single drive, optimizing sequencing and preventing unnecessary start–stop cycles. Impact → This yields lower energy use, extended pump life, and steadier system pressure across varying demand. Application → Ideal for lift stations, feeder networks, and treatment plants with mirrored or staggered pump trains. Feature → Level control maintains reservoir or tank levels, automating pump turn-on/off to prevent overflows and dry runs. Impact → Operators reduce spill risk, asset wear, and operator attention while achieving consistent process stability. Application → Suitable for equalization basins, clear water tanks, and process sumps in water utilities. Feature → Soft pipe fill and quick ramps minimize mechanical stress by reducing inrush currents and water hammer during startup and ramp-down. Impact → This protection extends motor bearings, piping, and valves, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. Application → Retrofit projects and new builds where transient loads threaten system integrity. Feature → Built-in energy calculator and intuitive interfaces—Hand-Off-Auto panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel—accelerate setup and operation. Impact → Utilities and contractors realize faster commissioning, easier diagnostics, and clearer visibility into energy savings and performance. Application → Field deployments in water utilities, wastewater plants, and municipal pumping networks seeking reliable, measurable ROI.

FAQs
This drive is designed for wall mounting in standard electrical rooms and supports 230 V AC input with 11 kW nominal power. Use the IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 variants available for harsher environments. It works with existing motors and switchgear and integrates with Drive Composer for seamless configuration.
Sensorless flow calculation reduces instrumentation needs while delivering precise speed control, improving efficiency and reducing maintenance. Multipump control coordinates several pumps to minimize cycling, lowering energy consumption and extending pump life. Expect smoother operation in collections of pumps at wastewater plants or water treatment facilities.
Yes. The AC Drive is purpose-built for water and wastewater pumping, offering level control, dry-run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps to manage transients, surges, and aging infrastructure. It supports wall mounting in compact spaces and can be extended with ethernet or Bluetooth options for remote monitoring.
The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 alternative variants available for higher protection. The drive is designed to withstand typical water utility environments and supports safe operation through dry-run protection and level control. For regulatory compliance, review local electrical standards and ABB documentation for CE compliance details.
Energy savings from sensorless flow control and optimized pump sequencing contribute to a favorable ROI, especially in larger pumping networks. Reduced wiring and simpler commissioning lower upfront costs. Ongoing maintenance is simplified by built-in protections, a user-friendly Hand-Off-Auto interface, and remote diagnostics via Drive Composer or optional Bluetooth panel.
