Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000706068 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.
Integrated disconnect and fuses simplify wiring and enclosure design, reducing field labor and installation risk. This compact, wall-mounted packaged drive provides a safer, code-compliant platform that speeds commissioning in pump stations and wastewater facilities. By consolidating protective devices into the drive, maintenance points are minimized and fault isolation becomes faster and clearer. The result is a smaller panel footprint and a smoother installation process, even in harsh environments. Sensorless flow calculation and multi-pump control allow precise sequencing and load sharing across pump trains, delivering real energy optimization. Operators see lower electricity costs and fewer circuit stresses as pumps respond to demand in real time. This supports compliance with energy efficiency programs and reduces total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle. Level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection guard pumps during startup and operation, extending motor life and reducing unscheduled outages. Quick ramps minimize water hammer and pressure transients, protecting piping networks and valves. The integrated features also simplify preventive maintenance by centralizing diagnostics and fault reporting. Built-in energy calculator visualizes savings, assisting ROI calculations for capital projects and ongoing operation. The Hand-Off-Auto interface, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel streamline commissioning, remote monitoring, and field service. Compatibility with standard ABB motor controls and remote diagnostics supports a digital plant strategy. UL-listed electronics protection and a robust enclosure design provide reliability in demanding environments, while the 60 Hp and 163 A rating align with common pump-sizing practices. This drive is well-suited for water utilities, municipal treatment facilities, and industrial process pumps seeking predictable performance and lower lifecycle costs. Industry insight notes that packaged drives like this support plant modernization by reducing components, enabling remote updates, and simplifying spare parts management.
