Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000706600 ABB: The ACQ580-PC 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 provides accurate pump performance data without external sensors, enabling precise speed control that reduces energy use and operational costs. This feature directly benefits water utilities by delivering measurable efficiency gains and smoother system operation, especially in variable-flow conditions common to pumping stations. The business impact is lower energy bills, reduced wear on mechanical components, and simpler instrumentation installation, making the solution attractive for municipal and industrial applications alike. Multi-pump control and level protection coordinate multiple pumps to prevent over- or under-pumping, improving process stability and minimizing water hammer. In practice, this translates to longer pump life, fewer handling errors, and easier capacity planning in wastewater treatment plants. Level control and soft pipe fill further minimize surge effects, protecting pipelines and valves while maintaining steady head pressure. These capabilities support compliant, reliable operation in harsh environments and reduce maintenance cycles. Dry run protection, quick ramps, and impeller-cleaning features further extend pump reliability by preventing dry-running damage and keeping hydraulics clean during startup and run sequences. The business value is lower maintenance costs and higher uptime for critical pumping assets. Hand-Off-Auto control, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth enable intuitive configuration, remote monitoring, and faster commissioning, which shortens project timelines and reduces on-site labor. This ecosystem supports rapid deployment, traceability, and easier firmware updates, all contributing to lower total cost of ownership. Energy calculator visualization quantifies energy savings, enabling data-driven optimization and more accurate CAPEX-to-ROI planning. The result is a pump-drive solution that aligns with energy-management initiatives and regulatory expectations while delivering predictable performance.

FAQs
This LV AC packaged drive is designed for three-phase 460 V systems and wall mounting. Ensure proper enclosure rating, adequate ventilation, and correct wiring to the built-in circuit breaker and fuse. Use Drive Composer for initial configuration, verify UL overload protection is enabled, and follow local electrical codes for safe start-up, grounding, and short-circuit protection.
Sensorless flow estimation uses motor and drive data to infer flow without external sensors, enabling precise speed control and better pump matching to system demand. This reduces throttling losses, minimizes energy consumption, and lowers maintenance costs by eliminating sensor purchases, while maintaining safe operation in varying flow conditions typical of water utilities.
Yes. The ABB 3AXD50000706600 supports multi-pump control and level management, enabling coordinated startup/shutdown and level-based sequencing. This reduces peak demand, protects against surge events, and improves reliability in multi-pump installations—essential for wastewater pumping stations where consistent head and flow are critical.
The drive features UL-listed electronic motor overload for safety and reliability. When procuring, verify full CE compliance as applicable in your region and confirm the enclosure and wiring meet your local electrical standards. Documentation from ABB or the distributor should confirm the applicable certifications for your specific installation and regulatory environment.
ROI comes from energy savings via sensorless flow control, reduced pump wear through dry-run protection and soft-start features, and lower maintenance due to integrated protective functions. Regular software updates via Drive Composer, periodic lubrication-free motor considerations, and routine inspection of the UL overload circuitry help sustain performance and minimize unexpected downtime.
