FAQs
To ensure seamless integration, verify the drive’s 460 V three-phase input matches your plant supply, confirm available I/O and fieldbus modules align with your PLC/SCADA, and plan for UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure placement. Consider motor wiring, starter rating, and protective devices to minimize harmonics and optimize startup behavior.
The ACQ580-based ULH irrigation drive family is designed for low THiD, targeting IEEE 519 compliance by delivering unity power factor and THiD at or below 3%. This reduces harmonics injected into the electrical network, protecting upstream equipment and improving overall power quality.
The drive covers a broad range of 40–150 HP (approximately 30–110 kW) at 460 V three-phase, making it suitable for mid- to large-capacity irrigation pumps. This range enables standardization across multiple sites while accommodating different pump sizes without multiple drive families.
Irrigation-specific software includes quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, flow/protection logic, dry-pump protection, and soft pipe fill. These features help prevent dry running, optimize water delivery, and safeguard pumps, with configurable protections that align with irrigation scheduling and remote monitoring needs.
By reducing harmonic stress, improving energy efficiency, and enabling precise flow Control, the drive lowers maintenance costs and extends motor life. The compact enclosure reduces installation and cabinet costs, while fieldbus compatibility cuts commissioning time and supports predictive maintenance through integrated monitoring.
