ABB 3AXD50000429035 AC Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AXD50000429035
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000429035 is a wall-mounted LV AC drive designed for water and wastewater pumping applications. Facilities often struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and the burden of external filters, multi-pulse installations, and upgrade complexity. This drive delivers UL-listed protection, an IP21 enclosure, and optional IP55 or flange mounting, plus an integrated low harmonic line filter to meet demanding standards. It combines sensorless pump control, level and multipump features with a Hand-Off-Auto interface and Drive Composer tooling to reduce footprint, maintenance, and total cost of ownership across municipal or industrial pumping stations. Together this supports reliable, energy-efficient operation and simplified commissioning in challenging water networks.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429035 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 → Reduces grid distortion and protects upstream equipment, lowering transformer upgrade risk and energy waste. The solution achieves THDi under 3% through integrated hardware and software optimizations, improving power quality in water and wastewater pumping setups. Business impact translates to quieter facilities, fewer compliance concerns, and longer asset life in municipal pumping stations. Application: water and wastewater networks requiring compliant harmonic control and dependable operation.Integrated low harmonic filter and no external filters → Simplifies installation, reduces cabinet space, and lowers total installed cost. Active supply unit plus built-in low harmonic line filter eliminate the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. This means faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and more compact electrical rooms in pump stations and treatment facilities. Application: compact pump rooms and retrofit projects where space and complexity matter.Built-in pump application features → Sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection deliver precise control and protection. Benefit: reduced wear, optimized pump efficiency, and safer operation under varying demand. Application: utility pumping stations, lift stations, and industrial process water systems where reliable automation drives uptime.User-centric control and integration → Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel enable fast setup, intuitive operation, and remote diagnostics. Benefit: shorter project timelines, lower commissioning costs, and easier ongoing maintenance. Application: field deployments across distributed pumping networks and remote sites, where quick troubleshooting matters.Installation and protection flexibility → IP21 standard enclosure with optional IP55 and flange mounting provides installation flexibility in constrained plant spaces. Benefit: adaptable mounting options reduce retrofit complexity and support durable performance in harsh environments. Application: wall-mounted drives in mechanical rooms, basements, or outdoor-adjacent equipment areas requiring ruggedized options.
