Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428342 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 architecture delivers THDi < 3%, enabling compliance with harmonic standards and reducing the need for external filters. This reduces installation complexity and capex while delivering smoother motor operation. For water and wastewater pumping stations, the impact is steadier flow and longer pump life. The drive includes an active supply unit and an integrated low harmonic line filter, so there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. This simplifies wiring, reduces cabinet footprint, and lowers maintenance costs over the system lifetime. The design is especially advantageous in plants with space constraints and centralized control rooms. Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve electrical efficiency and grid performance, especially during start-up surges. The resulting energy savings can lower operating costs and improve plant reliability. These features support compliant operation in facilities with challenging power quality requirements. Built-in pump application features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and impeller cleaning. These capabilities translate to reduced wear, fewer downtime events, and better process stability in municipal pumps, lift stations, and industrial processes. Control and usability are enhanced with Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and an optional Bluetooth controller. Quick commissioning, easier maintenance, and seamless integration with existing automation stacks help protect your capital investment. IP00 standard with IP20 enclosure options further simplify cabinet installation and field deployment.

FAQs
This drive is designed for cabinet installation with IP00 standard and IP20 option. It includes an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter, reducing the need for external filters and complex wiring, which simplifies retrofits and new builds alike.
THDi below 3% minimizes current distortion, improving motor efficiency, reducing electromagnetic interference, and enabling compliance with low-harmonic standards. The result is longer motor life and easier utility grid connection without external harmonics mitigation equipment.
Best for water and wastewater pumping and blower systems, including multi-pump configurations. Built-in pump functions such as sensorless flow, level control, and dry-run protection support reliable operation in municipal facilities and industrial processes.
The drive is UL-listed and available with IP00 standard enclosure or IP20 enclosure option, providing safe cabinet installation and regulatory alignment for many industrial environments.
Integrated low-harmonic filtering, fewer external components, and advanced pump features reduce maintenance and installation costs while delivering energy savings from improved PF and efficient start-ups, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership.
