ABB 3AXD50000705306 ACQ580-PD Packaged Drive - UL 3HP 460V
Part Number: 3AXD50000705306
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000705306 is a LV AC packaged drive that controls pumps and motors in water and wastewater systems. Operators often battle energy waste, pump cavitation, and lengthy commissioning when integrating variable-speed drives. This family aligns with UL safety requirements, and many regions require CE conformity and rugged, IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments. With built-in pump features, an intuitive Hand-Off-Auto panel, and the Drive Composer PC tool, it reduces startup time and operational costs. The energy calculator visualization helps justify the investment by quantifying expected savings and supporting energy-management initiatives.

FAQs
Install on a suitable wall with the integrated disconnect and fuses wired to a 460 V supply per local electrical codes. Use the Hand-Off-Auto panel for safe startup and the Drive Composer PC tool for commissioning. Ensure wiring supports the UL listed motor overload protection to safeguard pumps during operation.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates flow from motor signals, eliminating the need for external sensors. This enables accurate pump control, reduces cavitation risk, and improves sequencing in multi-pump configurations, delivering smoother starts and greater energy efficiency across varying demand.
Yes. The ACQ580-PD supports multi-pump control and level management, making it ideal for parallel pumping and duty cycling. Features like quick ramps and dry run protection minimize wear during transitions, while sensorless control maintains consistent performance under varying flow conditions.
The drive includes UL-listed electronic motor overload protection, with a UL listed configuration for safety. Users can pair it with UL-compliant disconnects and fuses. While CE conformity and IP-rated enclosures are commonly pursued in water/wastewater projects, verify regional compliance requirements for a given installation.
ROI is driven by the built-in energy calculator and reduced maintenance from protective features like dry run protection and overload protection. By optimizing pump speed and sequencing, utilities typically see lower energy costs, fewer outages, and a faster payback on retrofits or new plant installations.
