Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000466160 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.
ABB's LV AC packaged drive arrives as a compact wall-mounted unit with built-in disconnect and fuses, streamlining installation and reducing panel space. The integrated hardware eliminates separate switchgear, cutting wiring complexity and accelerating commissioning for municipal water and wastewater pump stations. This packaging design also supports quick retrofits and straightforward service access, improving uptime in harsh environments while keeping footprint minimal. Sensorless flow calculation estimates actual pump flow from motor torque and pump curve data, reducing the need for external flow meters. This improves control accuracy, minimizes energy waste, and extends pump life by preventing over-speed and dry-run events. Use in water and wastewater plants to maintain consistent process variables and simplify instrumentation. Multi-pump control enables synchronized operation across pumps, optimizing sequencing and preventing simultaneous starts that spike demand. The result is reduced motor wear, lower startup currents, and tangible energy savings across the system. This is particularly valuable in treatment plants and distribution networks where demand fluctuates and reliability is critical. Dry run protection, level control, soft start and quick ramps protect pumps and piping while smoothing transitions between operating points. The built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, enabling operators to verify performance and justify investments. The device supports Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel for flexible field and remote configurations. With its wall-mounted packaging and UL-listed motor overload protection, the drive integrates easily into existing electrical rooms and SCADA ecosystems. Compatible with 460 V, 1 HP motors and standard 2.1 A loads, it fits municipal and industrial pump lines without major wiring changes. Optional Hand-Off-Auto panels and Drive Composer support streamline commissioning and ongoing diagnostics.

FAQs
ABB 3AXD50000466160 is a wall-mounted LV AC packaged drive with built‑in disconnect and fuses, designed to replace conventional VFDs in pump lines. It supports 1 HP motors at 460 V and 2.1 A; interface with existing switchgear is straightforward. Verify motor nameplate, use Drive Composer for configuration, and ensure the enclosure rating meets site requirements. Follow ABB installation guidance for wiring and commissioning to minimize downtime.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates actual pump flow from motor torque and pump curve data, reducing the need for external flow meters. This improves control accuracy, minimizes energy waste, and extends pump life by preventing over-speed and dry-run conditions. Use the Drive Composer to enable this feature and optimize multi-pump sequencing for consistent wastewater treatment and water supply operations.
Yes. The ABB ACQ580-PD family is designed for water and wastewater pumping where reliable, energy-efficient operation is essential. Features like multi-pump control, dry run protection, level control, and an energy calculator address common municipal demands. Before deployment, confirm local voltage, enclosure rating, and compatibility with your SCADA/HMI setup to ensure seamless integration.
The drive includes UL-listed motor overload protection, reflecting strong safety compliance for industrial equipment. For global deployment, verify CE compliance and IP enclosure rating on the specific unit, and consult ABB documentation for regional certifications and installation practices. Always confirm the exact configuration and certification scope with supplier documentation before field installation.
ROI stems from energy savings, reduced pump wear, and lower maintenance thanks to dry-run protection and the energy calculator. Quick ramps and soft-start reduce peak currents, while integrated tools like Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth panels shorten commissioning and diagnostics time. In municipal and industrial settings, these factors translate to lower operating costs and improved uptime over the life of the pumping system.
