ABB 3AXD50000865017 AC Irrigation Drive - IEEE519 UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AXD50000865017
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865017 is an ultra-low harmonic irrigation drive for wall-mounted irrigation systems. In modern agricultural and landscape applications, engineers contend with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and inconsistent pump performance that disrupts flow and stresses electrical equipment. This drive meets IEEE 519 recommendations and delivers unity power factor with THDi at 3% or less, while housed in a compact UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure for indoor installation. The irrigation-specific software includes quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, dry pump protection, and soft pipe fill, plus integrated protections. Fieldbus and I/O modules are available, enabling seamless packaging with ACQ580 irrigation sets and scalable system architecture.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865017 ABB: The ACQ580-31 ultra-low harmonic (ULH) irrigation wall-mounted drive provides an unprecedented compact design that delivers unity power factor with a 3% or less THiD. By meeting the most stringent requirement of the IEEE519 recommendations, the ACQ580 ULH irrigation drive produces the least amount of harmonic distortion to reduce stress on electrical equipment. The ACQ580-31 irrigation wall-mounted drives are available from 40-150 HP at 460V 3-phase. The drives are available in UL Type 1 (IP21).=20

FAQs
The drive supports 460V 3‑phase power and is designed for indoor wall-mount installations in irrigation facilities. Its UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure, compact footprint, and available fieldbus/I/O options simplify retrofit and allow seamless integration with existing ACQ580 irrigation packages, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time.
Key benefits include THD ≤ 3% with unity power factor, which minimizes electrical stress and energy waste. The 40–150 HP range at 460V enables support for a wide variety of pump sizes, delivering smoother starts, precise flow control, and reduced motor wear in demanding irrigation cycles.
Yes. It provides irrigation-specific protections such as dry pump protection and soft pipe fill, along with quick ramps and level control to prevent water hammer. These features reduce pump damage and improve reliability in critical irrigation operations, while fieldbus/I/O options support robust diagnostics and remote monitoring.
The drive is IEEE 519 compliant for harmonic control, and is housed in a UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure for indoor use. This combination supports regulatory compliance in many regions and provides reliable protection for irrigation equipment in controlled environments.
Benefits include energy savings from a high unity power factor and reduced harmonic distortion, lower maintenance due to fewer electrical stresses, and easier installation with standard fieldbus options. Over time, these factors contribute to longer pump life, lower downtime, and faster payback in irrigation projects.
