ABB 3AXD50000428915 Motors & Drives - Ultra-Low THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AXD50000428915
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000428915 is an ultra-low harmonic LV AC wall-mounted drive for water and wastewater pumping. In many municipal and industrial installations, harmonic distortion, energy waste, and external filter complexity create ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The drive's integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit reduce reliance on external multi-pulse setups or transformers, delivering a simpler, more compact footprint. With UL-listed performance and IP21 standard enclosure (with IP55 and flange-mount options), this solution meets demanding environments while supporting reliable operation. For plant operators and OEMs, it combines robust pump control with intuitive configuration via Drive Composer and an optional Bluetooth panel, translating into energy savings and easier maintenance across the lifecycle.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428915 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
This drive is engineered for water and wastewater pumping, delivering precise, reliable speed control for municipal and industrial fluid handling. Key capabilities include sensorless flow calculation, multipump sequencing, level control, and dry-run protection, enabling robust pump systems with reduced energy use and simplified maintenance.
The ACQ580-31-012A-4 integrates a low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, delivering THDi below 3%. This design minimizes harmonic distortion, improves power quality, reduces electrical stress on feeders, and eliminates the need for external multi-pulse configurations or transformers.
The drive comes in an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options available. This flexibility supports wall-mount installations in confined spaces and adapts to harsher environments, while maintaining easy access for wiring, commissioning, and maintenance.
Plan for 480 V supply at up to 12 A (7.5 HP) and ensure adequate ventilation for the enclosure. Use Drive Composer for configuration, and consider the optional Bluetooth control panel for on-site or remote adjustment. The integrated filters and compact footprint simplify retrofits and new builds alike.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced wiring and external filter costs, and lower maintenance due to integrated protections. The device’s pump-specific features minimize downtime, extend impeller life, and shorten maintenance cycles, delivering a shorter payback period in municipal and wastewater facilities.
