Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865048 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

The irrigation specific software is designed for irrigation applications, enabling easily programmed functions and protections. This innovative programming includes, quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, flow and pressure protection, dry pump protection, soft pipe fill, and others. These drives include fieldbus, I/O modules, and other options available for the ACQ580 irrigation packages.
Ultra-low harmonic design delivers a near-unity power factor and THD of 3% or less, reducing electrical stress on pumps, transformers, and cabling. The result is fewer unplanned outages and longer motor life in demanding irrigation duties. This is especially effective in 40–150 HP installations at 460 V 3‑phase, where harmonic penalties are commonly seen in pump farms and distributed networks. The compact, wall-mounted form factor simplifies installation in space-constrained pump houses, enabling faster commissioning and easier maintenance. The drive includes irrigation-specific software with quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, and flow/pressure protection, which reduces water hammer and improves process control. Built-in fieldbus and I/O modules with configurable options support seamless SCADA integration and future expansion, lowering total cost of ownership. Reliability is enhanced by IP21 enclosure protection and UL Type 1 compliance, making it a robust choice for outdoor, industrial irrigation environments and OEM installations.
