ABB 3AXD50000429011 AC Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AXD50000429011
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000429011 AC Drive is a wall-mounted LV drive for efficient pump control in water and wastewater systems. For utilities and OEMs, harmonics, energy waste, and the need for external filters complicate installation and inflate lifecycle costs. IP21 enclosure is standard, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available, while the drive’s integrated low harmonic line filter minimizes external hardware. These capabilities reduce maintenance, improve power quality, and support compliant, cost-efficient plant operations. Combined with sensorless flow calculation and multipump control, this solution enables scalable, energy-efficient performance in municipal pumping and industrial applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429011 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
Consider mounting options (wall-mounted) with IP21 enclosure standard and IP55 variant availability to meet site conditions. The drive includes an integrated low harmonic line filter, reducing the need for external filters and transformers, which simplifies panel design and reduces installation time in tight plant spaces.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THDi under 3%, operates at 480 V, and supports up to 100 Hp (approximately 124 A). The integrated line filter eliminates the need for external harmonic mitigation devices, delivering cleaner power at the load.
Yes. The unit includes built-in pump application features such as multipump control, sensorless flow calculation, and level control, enabling coordinated operation across multiple pumps and improved process control in lift stations and wastewater facilities.
The standard IP21 enclosure is complemented by IP55 and flange-mount variants, offering flexible mounting in compact control rooms. It is designed for 480 V systems and aligns with common municipal and industrial pump configurations, reducing cabinet complexity.
ROI is driven by energy efficiency from improved power factor and reduced harmonic losses, plus lower maintenance costs due to the integrated filter and onboard protection features like dry run protection. Faster commissioning with Drive Composer and operator panels further shortens downtime during startup and servicing.
