FAQs
The ACQ580-01 is a wall-mounted LV drive. It is available with IP21 enclosure as standard and IP55 enclosure as an option, offering installation flexibility for indoor controls halls and more demanding environments. It supports standard mounting patterns and is designed to integrate with Hand-Off-Auto control panels, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth panel for field setup.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates process flow without external meters by using motor speed and drive algorithms, enabling precise pump regulation and reduced instrumentation costs. Dry run protection prevents damage when the pump runs without fluid, extending pump life and reducing maintenance. Together with level control and quick ramping, they deliver reliable operation in pump stations.
Yes. The ACQ580-01 includes multipump control capabilities that optimize sequencing and load-sharing across multiple pumps. This reduces cycling, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes wear on individual motors, which is particularly beneficial for lift stations and plants with variable pumping demands.
The drive features IP-rated protection with IP21 as standard and IP55 options for harsher environments, aligning with common electrical safety and protection standards in water and wastewater installations. The design also supports safe, CE-compliant-like deployment in regulated facilities and integrates with operator interfaces such as Hand-Off-Auto and Drive Composer.
ROI improves through reduced energy usage from variable-speed operation and lower instrumentation costs thanks to sensorless flow calculation. Maintenance benefits come from dry run protection and fewer external sensors, plus easier commissioning via Drive Composer and the optional Bluetooth panel. Overall, facilities see lower total cost of ownership and more predictable pump performance.
