ABB ACQ580-34-585A-4 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive Module - THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AXD50000428335
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-34-585A-4 ultra-low harmonic drive module for water and wastewater pumping applications. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and variable pressure and flow that jeopardize process stability. This drive is UL-listed and offers IP00 enclosure as standard, with IP20 available, plus an integrated low harmonic line filter to eliminate external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. The solution combines output voltage boost, power factor correction, and built-in pump-specific features like sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection. By pairing these capabilities with a intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel and the Drive Composer PC tool (with optional Bluetooth), facilities can improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable pumping performance across demanding water and wastewater applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428335 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.
The ultra-low harmonic design reduces THDi to well under 3 percent, delivering measurable energy savings and smoother motor operation for pumps handling variable loads in wastewater plants. The business impact is lower energy costs, reduced electrical stress on distribution networks, and improved compliance with harmonic standards, enabling more reliable treatment process performance. The integrated low harmonic line filter and active supply unit remove the need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements, or special transformers, delivering faster installation, reduced cabinet footprint, and lower total installed cost. Output voltage boost and power factor correction optimize motor efficiency at variable speeds, reducing current demand and enabling more compact drive selections for pumps and blowers in water systems. Pump-specific capabilities—sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection—translate into precise process control, reduced pump wear, and longer equipment life in basins and channels. The Hand-Off-Auto interface, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel enable rapid commissioning, straightforward diagnostics, and remote tuning, promoting lower maintenance costs and higher plant availability. The enclosure options, IP00 standard with IP20 as an alternative, provide installation flexibility for cabinet-mounted drives in both new builds and retrofit projects.

FAQs
This drive ships with an IP00 enclosure as standard and offers IP20 as an option, making it suitable for cabinet installation. It includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, which means you won’t need external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. Plan space for the hand-held control panel, access to the Drive Composer PC tool, and ensure proper motor and cable sizing for 315 kW at 400 V. Consider ventilation and easy access for commissioning and maintenance.
The ACQ580-34-585A-4 delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THDi under 3%, achieved through its integrated low harmonic line filter and design optimization. This reduces current distortion on the supply side, minimizes heat and losses in electrical distribution, and helps meet industry harmonic standards, which is especially important in densely loaded pump stations and treatment facilities.
Key pump control features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, and quick ramps. These capabilities improve process accuracy, prevent unnecessary pump wear, and enable smooth transitions during startup and load changes. Combined with Hand-Off-Auto operation and the Drive Composer tool, you get faster commissioning, easier tuning, and reliable operation in multi-pump configurations typical of water and wastewater plants.
The drive is UL-listed and offers IP00 enclosure by default, with IP20 enclosure available as an option for cabinet installations. It operates at 400 V with a 315 kW rating and supports integrated low-harmonic filtration to meet demanding electrical standards. While data here does not state CE or SIL, the UL listing and IP-rated enclosures provide common regulatory assurances for industrial deployments.
Expect meaningful ROI from energy savings due to reduced THDi and optimized power factor, along with reduced maintenance from predictive pump protection like dry run and level control. The integrated features simplify installation and commissioning, lowering capital and labor costs, while long-term reliability and smoother operation yield lower lifecycle expenses in municipal and industrial wastewater facilities.
