Operators struggle with grid distortion, energy waste, and equipment wear when traditional VFDs are pushed to limits. This module delivers ultra-low harmonic performance and is UL-listed with IP00 enclosure (IP20 option) for safe cabinet installation. By combining integrated pump features, energy-efficient control and intuitive tools like Drive Composer, it helps engineers reduce maintenance costs and improve system reliability in critical water applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428328 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.
Ultra-low harmonic performance delivers THDi below 3%, reducing grid distortion and extending motor life. This is achieved through an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, so there is no need for external filters or special transformers. Benefit: easier compliance with utility guidelines and lower annual maintenance costs. Application: water and wastewater pumps and aeration systems in municipal facilities. Integrated components simplify installation and reduce panel footprint. Fewer external devices mean shorter wiring runs and fewer potential fault points, which translates to faster commissioning and lower installation labor. The solution also minimizes heat load inside the cabinet, improving reliability. Application: cabinet-based drives in pumping stations and remote wastewater sites. Output voltage boost and power factor correction optimize drive performance under variable load, reducing line losses and improving overall efficiency. The result is measurable energy savings, particularly in demanding pump operations with high duty cycles. Application: high-flow water supply and wastewater pumping where efficiency targets are critical. Built-in pump-application features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, and quick ramps. This enables smarter sequencing, protects pumps from damage during start-up, and reduces operator intervention. Application: complex multi-pump networks, lift stations, and process-treatment applications. User-friendly interfaces accelerate deployment and maintenance. Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel streamline commissioning, diagnostics, and remote support. Industry field-service teams gain faster problem resolution and lower mean time to repair. Application: plant-wide upgrades and new-installations. Enclosure options IP00 standard and IP20 available provide flexibility for safe cabinet installation in harsh water industry environments. This compatibility minimizes integration time, supports compliant installation in tight cabinets, and reduces the need for additional protection. Application: water utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and lift stations.

FAQs
Plan cabinet space for the IP00 standard unit with the option for IP20 housing. The drive includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and active supply unit, reducing external components. Ensure proper cooling and wiring to 400 V AC supply; use the Hand-Off-Auto panel for commissioning and the Drive Composer tool for setup.
THDi is less than 3%, minimizing harmonic currents injected into the supply. This improves power quality, reduces transformer heating, and helps meet utility guidelines for sensitive loads. The drive's integrated filter and low harmonic design eliminate the need for additional multi-pulse arrangements in many water and wastewater installations.
Yes, it includes sensorless flow calculation and multipump control with level control and quick ramps, enabling coordinated operation of several pumps. This reduces start-stop cycling, balances head pressure, and enhances energy efficiency. Use it in lift stations and treatment lines where multiple pumps operate under varying demand.
It is UL-listed for safe operation and supports IP00 enclosure as standard, with IP20 option for added protection in cabinet installations. The drive is designed to meet low-harmonic performance standards and offers protective features such as dry-run protection and fault diagnosis via Drive Composer.
Expect reduced energy consumption from improved efficiency and power factor, fewer external filters, and simplified installation lowering upfront capex. Built-in pump features reduce wear and dry-run incidents, lowering maintenance costs and unplanned downtime. Combined with easy commissioning via Drive Composer and Bluetooth panel, TCO improvements are meaningful over typical pumping operations.
