FAQs
The ACQ580-01-115A-2 is a wall-mounted LV drive designed for wet environments, shipped with a standard IP21 enclosure. For harsher settings, IP55 enclosure variants and flange mounting options are available, enabling secure, space-efficient installations in compact control rooms or directly adjacent to pump equipment. Ensure proper enclosure rating, ventilation, and cabling clearances per ABB recommendations.
Key specs include a nominal power of 30 kW, 115 A, and 230 V AC input. It offers sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, dry run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps. An integrated energy calculator helps quantify savings, while Hand-Off-Auto control and Drive Composer support straightforward commissioning and ongoing optimization.
Yes. The ACQ580-01-115A-2 supports multipump control and level management, enabling coordinated sequencing across multiple pumps. This reduces peak currents, balances duty cycles, and prevents overflows, making it well-suited for lift stations, treatment plant inlets, and other multi-pump wastewater applications where reliability and efficiency are critical.
The standard IP21 enclosure provides basic protection for indoor, dry-well installations. For wet or dusty environments, IP55-rated variants and flange mounting options are available, offering higher ingress protection and installation flexibility. These configurations align with common industry practices for water and wastewater applications, helping maintain equipment reliability and uptime.
ROI is driven by measurable energy savings from the built-in energy calculator, reduced pump wear from dry run protection and soft-start features, and improved operational efficiency via intuitive interfaces. Ongoing maintenance is simplified by robust diagnostics, straightforward commissioning with Drive Composer, and remote monitoring options through Bluetooth control panels where applicable.
