Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428298 ABB: The ACQ580-34 drives deliver innovative pump and blower 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 drive module 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 drive module variant comes in IP00 enclosure as standard and is installed into a cabinet. Also, IP20 enclosure is available.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance (THDi < 3%), reducing electrical stress on feeders and avoiding penalties in sensitive networks, which translates to greater reliability for municipal pumping stations. This supports long-term energy savings in water utilities while simplifying electrical design thanks to an integrated low harmonic filter that eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse transformers. Application-wise it suits large pumps and blowers in wastewater treatment, where consistent power quality minimizes process variability and maintenance costs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Sensorless flow calculation and multipump control enable precise process management without expensive instrumentation, reducing capital spend and improving process accuracy in lift stations and distribution networks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Level control, dry-run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps protect pumps from damage, extend seal life, and reduce downtime during start-up and transients in urban water networks. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in pump applications and intuitive interfaces (Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer, optional Bluetooth panel) streamline commissioning, commissioning time, and operator training across facilities, delivering faster time-to-operational status and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The drive is designed for 400 V systems and 132 kW capacity, with an integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit to simplify wiring. It fits in standard switchgear cabinets and supports common control interfaces, enabling straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing drives without extensive rewiring. Ensure enclosure selection aligns with IP00 or IP20 options and verify motor compatibility for UL-listed operation.
THDi <3% indicates exceptionally low harmonic distortion on the AC input, improving power quality and reducing feeder stress. It is achieved through the drive’s integrated low harmonic filter and advanced control algorithms, eliminating the need for external filters and multi-pulse configurations while delivering consistent motor voltage and current waveform integrity.
Yes. The ABB 3AXD50000428281 includes multipump control and sensorless flow calculation, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps. This supports demand-driven control, reduces cycling, optimizes energy use, and maintains stable head and flow in distribution and wastewater pumping stations.
The drive is UL-listed for safety and supports IP00 as standard with an IP20 enclosure available. These features help meet regulatory requirements for electrical safety and environmental protection in industrial and municipal settings, while enabling installation in standard cabinet environments with appropriate sealing and protection.
Integrated protection features reduce unplanned downtime (dry-run protection, soft ramp, level control) and lower maintenance costs. Energy efficiency gains from precise pump control and reduced harmonic distortion contribute to faster ROI, while simplified commissioning and the Drive Composer interface shorten project timelines and support ongoing operational optimization.
