Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000761159 ABB: The ACQ580-01 drives deliver 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 drive has built-in pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump 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 and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ580-01 variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Sensorless flow calculation allows precise pump performance without external flow meters, delivering measurable energy savings, simplified installation, and reduced instrumentation costs across municipal and industrial water networks. The business impact is reduced energy consumption and lower total cost of ownership, especially in variable-flow water networks where pumping schedules change frequently. This supports municipal and industrial pumping applications where reliability, efficiency, and predictable head are critical for compliant operations and asset longevity. Multipump control and level management optimize sequencing to minimize start-stop wear and energy spikes. The result is longer pump life, reduced maintenance, and improved process stability in water treatment and wastewater facilities. In real-world deployments, technicians can leverage multi-pump orchestration to optimize pump curves across varying head conditions while reducing peak demand and lowering electricity bills. Soft pipe fill, fast ramping, and dry-run protection reduce hydraulic shocks and prevent pump damage during startup and load changes. The energy calculator visualizes savings and supports justifiable CAPEX decisions for new-builds or retrofits. Quick configuration and commissioning are enhanced by Hand-Off-Auto control and the Drive Composer PC tool, with optional Bluetooth for field diagnostics and remote troubleshooting. Compact wall-mounted packaging simplifies on-site installation and reduces cabinet space, while IP21 standard protection is readily upgraded to IP55 or flange mounts for harsher environments. The unit is UL-listed for electrical safety and performance, ensuring compliance with utility and contractor requirements. Its plug-and-play integration with common motor starters, PLCs, and SCADA workflows accelerates project delivery while maintaining robust fault tolerance.

FAQs
The 3AXD50000761159 drive is designed for wall-mounted installation with a standard IP21 enclosure, suitable for clean indoor electrical rooms or protected zones. It can be upgraded to IP55 with flange-mount options for harsher environments and longer cable runs. Its 575 V, 8 HP specification supports common municipal and industrial pump applications, and the unit accepts standard field wiring and motor connections for straightforward retrofits or new builds.
Sensorless flow calculation estimates the pump head and flow without additional flow meters, reducing instrumentation costs and potential sensor errors. The drive adjusts motor speed to maintain desired flow, lowering energy use during variable demand and minimizing wear from over- or under-pumping. This is especially beneficial in variable-speed pumping stations and wastewater facilities where demand fluctuates throughout the day.
Yes. The ABB drive supports multipump control to optimize sequencing, reducing start-stop cycles and energy spikes while maintaining tank or basin level within setpoints. This enables efficient operation of multi-pump installations, such as lift stations and treatment facilities, by coordinating pump curves and ensuring reliable level management under varying head conditions.
The drive is UL-listed for electrical safety and performance, providing confidence in compliance with safety requirements. It ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard, with options for IP55 and flange-mount configurations to suit tougher environments. These protections, along with robust sealing and fault-tolerant features, help meet regulatory and utility specifications for municipal and industrial pumping projects.
Deploying the 3AXD50000761159 drive yields a favorable return through energy savings from variable-speed control, reduced pump wear thanks to soft-start and dry-run protection, and lower maintenance costs due to extended equipment life. The dashboarded energy calculator supports payback analyses, while remote diagnostics via Bluetooth and Drive Composer streamline maintenance planning and downtime avoidance during upgrades or retrofits.
