ABB ACQ580-31-12A7-4 LV Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonic IP21
Part Number: 3AXD50000428731
Quick Summary
ABB ACQ580-31-12A7-4 ultra-low harmonic drive for water and wastewater pumping enhances energy efficiency. Many pump installations struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and equipment wear, especially in large networks. This drive delivers THDi under 3%, standard IP21 enclosure with IP55 and flange options, and UL-listed variants for regulatory compliance. Built-in pump application functions like sensorless flow calculation, multi-pump control, level control, and dry-run protection help keep systems reliable. Pair this with the Hand-Off-Auto interface and Drive Composer PC tool to simplify commissioning, lowering installation time and lifecycle costs while delivering improved system performance for your municipal and industrial water projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428731 ABB: The ACQ580-31 drives deliver innovative pump 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 wall-mounted drive 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 wall-mounted variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Ultra-low harmonic architecture reduces THDi to under 3%, helping protect sensitive equipment and improve power quality. The drive integrates a low harmonic line filter, eliminating the need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements, or special transformers. This translates to simpler installations, reduced footprint, and lower lifecycle costs for water and wastewater pumping systems. Output voltage boost and power factor correction optimize motor performance and energy use across varying loads. When combined with energy-management features, operators can achieve measurable savings on pumping cycles and peak demand charges. Built-in pump application functions include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and impeller cleaning. These capabilities reduce start-up time, prevent cavitation, protect the pump, and extend service intervals in municipal facilities and industrial water networks. Usability is enhanced with the Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel, enabling rapid commissioning and easier remote monitoring. The compact wall-mounted design, IP21 enclosure by default, and available IP55 or flange mounting options simplify installation in tight spaces. From a maintenance and compliance perspective, the integrated filter and protection features support regulatory requirements for harmonics and energy efficiency while minimizing field components. The result is a robust drive that delivers reliable operation, predictable performance, and a lower total cost of ownership for water treatment and wastewater treatment applications.
