ABB 3AXD50000428793 ACQ580-31 Drives - Ultra-low Harmonic THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AXD50000428793
Quick Summary
The ABB ACQ580-31 drives provide energy-efficient pump control for water and wastewater applications. Operators face harmonic distortion, energy waste, and the burden of external filters and complex multi-pulse configurations that complicate installation and maintenance. IP21 enclosure comes standard, with IP55 option for harsher environments, and the drives are designed to meet low-harmonic standards while enabling compact, wall-mounted installation. Built-in pump application features, such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, and dry run protection, reduce commissioning time and lifecycle costs. By combining power factor correction, output voltage boost, and an intuitive control interface, these drives deliver reliable performance, ease of integration, and measurable business value for water utilities and industrial pumping systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428793 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.
The ultra-low harmonic design of the ACQ580-31 drives delivers improved power quality with THDi below 3%, enabling compliance with strict harmonic guidelines and reducing transformer and feeder penalties in water utilities. Business impact: smoother operation, fewer electrical disturbances, and lower lifecycle costs from reduced electrical strain on queuing infrastructure. Application: municipal pumping stations and wastewater facilities benefit from calmer electrical networks and easier maintenance due to fewer external components required. The integrated active supply unit and built-in low harmonic filter simplify installation by removing the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements, cutting footprint and installation time. Business impact: faster project readiness, reduced wiring complexity, and lower capex per pump installation. Application: new build or retrofit projects where space and simplicity matter. The drive’s output voltage boost and power factor correction improve motor efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption in pump trains. Business impact: measurable energy savings and improved system performance, especially in variable-speed pumping. Application: energy-conscious plants seeking lower operating costs. Built-in pump features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps, and impeller cleaning provide sophisticated control without external equipment. Business impact: enhanced pump protection, extended pump life, precise flow management, and reduced risk of dry-run events. Application: multi-pump configurations in water treatment and wastewater facilities. The Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel simplify commissioning, monitoring, and remote configuration. Business impact: faster deployment, easier troubleshooting, and improved field service efficiency. Installation and compatibility are enhanced by a robust wall-mounted form factor and enclosure options (IP21 standard, IP55 available), allowing flexible integration in clean rooms, electrical cabinets, or outdoor-rated housings. Application: retrofit projects and new builds where space, protection class, and mounting flexibility are pivotal.

FAQs
The ACQ580-31 is designed for wall-mounted installation with a standard IP21 enclosure and optional IP55 variants. This simplifies mounting in compact electrical cabinets or plant rooms, and the integrated filters reduce the need for external components during retrofits or new builds.
The ultra-low harmonic variant achieves THDi below 3%, supported by an integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit. This significantly reduces harmonic distortion on feeders, improving overall power quality and reducing stress on upstream transformers and switchgear.
Yes. The ACQ580-31 includes multipump control and level control capabilities, along with sensorless flow calculation and dry-run protection. These features enable coordinated control of multiple pumps while protecting equipment and ensuring reliable operation in wastewater and water-treatment applications.
The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 and flange-mount options available. The design supports compliance with low harmonic standards, enhancing electrical-system reliability in water utilities and industrial pumping environments.
Integrated features eliminate the need for external harmonic filters, reducing installation costs and footprint. Enhanced control (sensorless flow, dry-run protection) lowers downtime and maintenance, while power factor correction and voltage boost deliver tangible energy savings over pump life cycles.
