Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000466320 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 reduces the need for external flow meters, cutting instrumentation costs and simplifying initial setup. This directly translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster commissioning in water and wastewater projects, where accurate flow control is critical. The technology enables precise pump modulation at varying loads, boosting efficiency and extending motor life in daily operations. In practice, plant operators can achieve measurable energy savings while maintaining process stability in pump stations and treatment facilities. Multi-pump control and level control give operators the ability to orchestrate several pumps in concert, stabilizing tank levels and reducing flow fluctuations. This minimizes surge risks and wear on pumps, translating into longer equipment life and reduced maintenance cycles. In municipal and industrial pumping scenarios, the drive helps optimize sequencing for peak demand periods and downstream process requirements. Dry run protection, soft pipe fill, and quick ramps reduce mechanical stress and water hammer during startup and transitions. This delivers smoother operation, fewer unplanned outages, and lower maintenance costs for both new and retrofitted systems. The drive’s ramping profiles support gradual acceleration and deceleration, enhancing system reliability in critical piping networks. Built-in energy calculator and monitoring tools enable real-time visibility into energy use and potential savings, supporting budgeting accuracy and regulatory reporting. This data-driven approach helps facilities meet energy-performance contracts and utility incentives. In practice, engineers can quantify ROI and justify investments in modern pump drives across water and wastewater infrastructure. Usability and installation advantages include a Hand-Off-Auto control panel interface, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth connectivity. This combination shortens commissioning timelines and simplifies maintenance checks, while UL-listed electronics provide assurance of compliance and protection. The packaged design with disconnect and fuses simplifies panel integration and reduces field wiring complexity, making retrofits and new builds faster and safer.
