Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000465873 ABB: The ACQ580-PD drives deliver the ACQ580 Product Series features delivering innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy-efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. This robust and compact wall-mounted packaged drive has built-in pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multi-pump 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, an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel, and a UL-approved electronic motor overload. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive.
Integrated disconnect and fuses reduce panel footprint and wiring complexity, accelerating installation and reducing commissioning errors while keeping a compact footprint on site. This translates to faster project turnover and lower labor costs for pump stations that operate in constrained spaces. Sensorless flow calculation and multi-pump control optimize pump sequencing and modulation, delivering meaningful energy savings and improved process stability, especially in variable-load water and wastewater applications. Level control, soft pipe fill, and dry run protection protect equipment during startup and operation, extending impeller life and reducing maintenance cycles in challenging pumping environments. Quick ramps and intuitive hand-off-auto control panels simplify set-up and on-site adjustments, while Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth control panel support remote diagnostics and faster changeovers during maintenance windows. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings opportunities, enabling informed decisions on variable-speed drive adoption and ROI planning for municipal and industrial water utilities.
