Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000466016 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The built-in pump application functionality, including sensorless flow calculation and multi-pump control, delivers precise flow management and reduced energy consumption, directly improving pump efficiency in municipal water systems. This translates to lower energy costs and extended pump life in wastewater facilities. The device’s level control and dry run protection minimize dry running events, reducing repair costs and downtime in raw water intakes and lift stations. Soft ramps and quick ramp capabilities enable smooth motor starts, decreasing mechanical wear and improving process stability during peak demand periods in both municipal and industrial pumping loops. The wall-mounted, packaged drive with disconnect and fuses simplifies installation in space-constrained electrical rooms, enabling faster deployment and easier maintenance. The optional Bluetooth control panel and PC tool Drive Composer streamline remote diagnostics and commissioning, delivering lower lifecycle cost and faster ROIs in large-scale pumping deployments. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, aiding energy management programs and regulatory reporting. This ABB solution aligns with utility standards while delivering reliable protection via UL-approved motor overload protection, reinforcing compliance and operator confidence. Compatibility with standard LV motors and a broad range of pump configurations reduces engineering time and accelerates project delivery for engineering teams and procurement groups. Real-world operators appreciate the simplified HMI (Hand-Off-Auto), which reduces operator training time and minimizes human error, especially during shift changes or high-demand cycles.

FAQs
Installation should begin with verifying supply voltage (575 V). Mount the wall-mounted drive in a ventilated electrical cabinet, ensuring clearance for cooling and service access. Connect the built-in disconnect and fuse block per local electrical codes, and wire the motor to the LV drive output. Use the Hand-Off-Auto control panel for commissioning and enable the UL-listed motor overload protection for safe startup and protection against overload events. Allocate space for Drive Composer PC tool access and optional Bluetooth panel for diagnostics and maintenance.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates pump flow without external sensors, enabling real-time optimization of pump speed to meet demand. This reduces energy consumption, lowers wear on impellers, and enhances control accuracy in varying head conditions typical of water and wastewater systems. Operators gain improved process stability and can implement precise multi-pump sequencing to maintain desired levels and flows while minimizing operating costs.
Yes. The drive supports multi-pump control configurations and level control strategies, making it suitable for applications such as lift stations and multi-pump basins. This compatibility enables coordinated pump starts, reduced head loss, and smoother transitions between pumps. The built-in quick ramps and dry run protection help manage complex sequencing while protecting motors from common fault conditions.
The package emphasizes UL-listed electronic motor overload protection, supporting electrical safety and compliance with industry standards. While CE or IP ratings are not specified in the data, the UL listing provides a recognized standard for equipment protection and reliability in industrial environments. Verify local regulatory requirements and facility standards as part of your procurement and validation process.
The integrated features—disconnect and fuses, pump-focused software, energy calculator, and optional Bluetooth diagnostics—reduce installation time, commissioning effort, and ongoing maintenance. The energy savings from optimized pumping, reduced dry runs, and smoother starts translate to faster ROI, while UL-listed protection lowers risk of motor damage. Routine maintenance centers on periodic software updates via Drive Composer and networked diagnostics through the optional panel.
