ABB 3AXD50000428922 ACQ580-31-014A-4 - Ultra-Low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AXD50000428922
Quick Summary
Ultra-low harmonic drive for water and wastewater pumping delivers precise, energy-efficient pump control for municipal and industrial applications. Spiking harmonic distortion and the need to reduce external filters often drive up operating costs and complicate maintenance. UL-listed with an IP21 enclosure (IP55 and flange-mount variants available) and integrated low-harmonic line filter, it ensures compliance and simpler installation. Key business benefits include energy efficiency, reduced THDi, and built-in pump applications that shorten commissioning and maintenance cycles. This makes it ideal for municipal water utilities and industrial process pumps.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000428922 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 performance with an integrated low harmonic line filter reduces THDi to below 3%, eliminating the need for external filters or dedicated transformer setups. Business impact: improved power quality, reduced utility penalties, simpler installation, and lower life-cycle costs. Application: municipal water pumps and wastewater lift stations where harmonic management and reliability are regulatory requirements. Natively built-in pump application features, such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, and level control, enable precise process control without extra sensors. Business impact: tighter process control, energy savings, and reduced maintenance. Application: pumping stations with variable flows and the need for quick ramping and dry-run protection. Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve motor performance and grid interaction. Business impact: higher efficiency, voltage regulation, and potential energy savings. Application: long-running pump installations with fluctuating loads. User-friendly control interfaces, including Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel, speed commissioning and remote diagnostics. Business impact: faster start-up, reduced on-site visits, and easier operator training. Application: field deployments and retrofits where downtime is critical. Rugged installation options—IP21 standard with IP55 and flange-mount variants—support flexible installation in wet environments and compact spaces. Business impact: lower integration costs, easier compliance with space constraints, and retrofit-friendly design. Application: new builds and expansions in water treatment and industrial processes.

FAQs
ABB ACQ580 drives are designed for wall-mounted installation with an IP21 enclosure standard, and IP55 or flange-mount options available for harsher environments. The unit includes an integrated low harmonic line filter, reducing external components and simplifying compliance. Ensure adequate cooling clearance and space for service access, and verify that the site power quality meets the 480 V supply requirements to maximize protection and performance.
The drive delivers THDi below 3%, which significantly lowers harmonic distortion in the supply network. This improves power quality, reduces electrical stress on transformers and cables, and helps facilities meet utility and regulatory requirements. In municipal pumping, lower THDi translates to better energy efficiency and fewer penalties or upgrade costs tied to harmonic performance.
The drive offers Hand-Off-Auto control, the Drive Composer PC tool, and an optional Bluetooth control panel to accelerate commissioning and diagnostics. These features enable quick parameter tuning, real-time performance monitoring, and remote assistance, minimizing plant downtime during startup and retrofit projects while ensuring operators can manage pumps safely and efficiently.
Yes, the ABB drive is designed for retrofit suitability with compatible motors and mounting. It includes dry-run protection, level control, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps to protect pumps during startup and operation. Sensorless flow calculation supports efficient control of variable demand, reducing wear and extending pump life in aging infrastructure.
ROI improves through energy savings from improved PF and reduced THDi, plus maintenance savings from integrated protections and fewer external filters. The built-in pump features shorten commissioning time, reduce on-site support, and lower spare-part and filter costs. Overall, the drive offers lower total cost of ownership in long-term water and wastewater applications.
