These capabilities align with broader industrial automation strategies, delivering measurable value in efficiency and lifecycle cost.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429929 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.
Integrated low-harmonic design with a built-in active supply unit and low-harmonic line filter reduces harmonic distortion and eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements, cutting installation complexity and maintenance costs in water and wastewater pumping. This configuration improves overall system reliability and enables easier compliance with harmonic standards, while delivering smoother motor currents for longer pump life. Output voltage boost and power factor correction enhance line efficiency, lowering utility penalties and reducing operating expenses in municipal and process-water applications. Sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection provide advanced pump management, reducing wear, preventing unexpected shutdowns, and supporting stable process control in variable-demand environments. Quick ramps and optimized start sequences streamline commissioning, reducing downtime during plant startup. Hand-Off-Auto control and the Drive Composer PC tool simplify configuration and remote monitoring, while the optional Bluetooth control panel expands on-site flexibility. Wall-mounted design saves cabinet space with IP21 standard enclosure, and IP55 or flange-mount options broaden installation versatility in harsher environments. These capabilities align with typical plant automation architectures, enabling scalable, resilient water management solutions.

FAQs
Installation is straightforward for wall-mounted setups. Use the standard IP21 enclosure and connect the integrated supply unit and low-harmonic filter as designed. Leverage the Drive Composer tool for configuration and the Hand-Off-Auto panel for commissioning. If space or environmental conditions require, IP55 or flange-mount options are available to adapt to harsher plant areas.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THDi below 3%, includes an integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit, and offers features such as output voltage boost and power factor correction. It supports sensorless pump control features and built-in protection suitable for water and wastewater applications, with CE compliance and IP21 standard enclosure (IP55 and flange-mount options available).
Yes. The standard enclosure is IP21, but IP55 variants and flange mounting units are available to suit more demanding environments, enabling installation in exposed locations or compact spaces without compromising protection or serviceability.
Ultra-low harmonic performance reduces harmonic distortion (THDi < 3%), which lowers circulating losses and improves motor efficiency. Fewer external filters and simplified wiring reduce installation and maintenance costs, while improved power factor can decrease utility penalties, delivering tangible energy savings over the life of the pump system.
Built-in pump application features (sensorless flow, multipump control, level control, dry-run protection) minimize downtime and wear. The Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth panel streamline commissioning and remote monitoring, enabling faster ROI through predictive maintenance and reduced on-site visits.
