Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428762 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.

FAQs
ABB 3AXD50000428762 is a wall-mounted LV AC drive designed for water and wastewater applications with an IP21 standard enclosure and optional IP55. It supports sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level protection, and integrates with Hand-Off-Auto panels, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control. For retrofit projects, verify electrical clearances, conforming wiring for 400 V systems, and compatibility of the drive’s protection features with existing pump wiring and level sensors to minimize field rewiring and commissioning time.
This drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with a THDi of less than 3%, meeting stringent power quality expectations in water networks. The integrated low harmonic line filter eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse configurations, reducing installation complexity and ongoing maintenance while protecting motors from excessive electrical stress and ripple that can shorten bearing life and affect efficiency.
Yes. The drive is purpose-built for water and wastewater pumping, featuring integrated pump application functions such as sensorless flow calculation, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection. Its compact wall-mounted design, UL-rated configurations, and IP21 standard enclosure (with IP55 options) make it ideal for compact pump stations, lift stations, and treatment plants requiring reliable control and energy efficiency.
The drive includes UL certification for suitable 480 V configurations, supporting safety and compliance in U.S. facilities. It ships with an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 as an option for harsher environments. The ultra-low harmonic design and integrated filter also align with low harmonic standards, providing regulatory-friendly performance without requiring external filtering hardware.
By reducing THDi to below 3% and eliminating external low-harmonic filters, the drive lowers energy waste and reduces component count, translating to lower installation and maintenance costs. Sensorless flow and multipump control improve process reliability, while commissioning tools and intuitive interfaces shorten project timelines and enable faster operator training, delivering measurable ROI in utility-scale water networks.
