Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000466146 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.
Sensorless flow calculation enables pump efficiency and flow optimization without external sensors, reducing wiring and maintenance while ensuring accurate pump performance in water and wastewater installations. This translates to energy savings and reduced capital costs through better matching of flow to demand. Multi-pump control coordinates multiple pumps to match process demand, minimizing start-stop cycles and extending motor life in pumping stations and treatment facilities. Level control and dry run protection prevent cavitation and dry-running scenarios, protecting pumps and reducing unscheduled downtime in variable water levels and supply conditions. Soft start and quick ramps lower electrical and mechanical stress, cutting peak demand and extending motor life in frequent start-up applications. The built-in energy calculator quantifies savings, while intuitive controls and diagnostics—Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel—streamline commissioning, monitoring, and remote troubleshooting for maintenance teams.

FAQs
The ABB 3AXD50000466146 is a compact, wall-mounted LV AC packaged drive designed to replace or retrofit traditional pump controllers. It supports standard 460 V motor schematics, UL-approved overload protection, and built-in pump-specific functions, reducing wiring complexity and panel space. Compatibility is enhanced by the Drive Composer PC tool and optional Bluetooth panel for quick commissioning, diagnostics, and remote start/stop signaling within existing plant control architectures.
Key pump features include sensorless flow calculation for accurate, sensor-free flow estimates; multi-pump control to coordinate several pumps; level control for dynamic process management; and dry-run protection to prevent pump damage. Soft start and quick ramps reduce inrush and mechanical stress, while the energy calculator quantifies savings. Together, these capabilities improve efficiency, extend equipment life, and reduce total cost of ownership in water and wastewater installations.
Yes. The ACQ580-based drive is purpose-built for water and wastewater pumping applications. Its wall-mounted packaging, UL-approved overload protection, and pump-centric features—sensorless flow, level control, dry-run protection, and energy-saving tools—make it well-suited for municipal lift stations, treatment plants, and similar infrastructure where reliability, energy efficiency, and compact installation are critical.
The drive includes UL-approved electronic motor overload protection, ensuring safety for demanding pump operations. This certification supports compliance with industry electrical safety standards in many regions. While other certifications are commonly expected in the market, the documented UL listing for overload protection provides a clear, verifiable safety baseline for installation in water and wastewater facilities.
Maintenance is simplified through integrated diagnostics, the Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel for remote monitoring and fault tracing. The sensorless flow, dry-run protection, and soft-start features reduce wear and unplanned downtime, translating to lower maintenance costs and energy savings. In practice, facilities commonly see faster commissioning, extended pump life, and improved process stability, contributing to a favorable ROI over the drive’s service life.
