ABB 3AXD50000865055 Drive - UL Type 1 IP21 ULH
Part Number: 3AXD50000865055
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865055 drive provides ultra-low harmonic motor control for irrigation pumps. Many facilities struggle with harmonic distortion that wears out equipment and inflates energy costs. It meets IEEE 519 harmonic guidelines and comes in UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure with a compact ULH design. The irrigation-specific software enables quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, protections, and easy integration with plant networks. This solution supports unity power factor and reduces electrical stress on equipment, offering measurable efficiency gains for OEMs and operators. Its compatibility with irrigation packages, optional fieldbus, and I/O modules supports scalable installations from pilot to full farm applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865055 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 architecture is a core differentiator of the ABB 3AXD50000865055 drive. This ULH design minimizes harmonic distortion at the source, delivering THDi of 3% or less and a near-unity power factor that reduces feeder kVA and associated energy waste. In irrigation pumping, that means cooler drives, longer motor life, and predictable performance during peak irrigation cycles. Compact wall-mounted enclosure with UL Type 1 (IP21) protection supports space-constrained installations. The 40–150 HP at 460 V three-phase range makes this drive suitable for mid-to-large irrigation pumps, while its compact footprint simplifies retrofits and new builds alike. Irrigation-specific software enables quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, and protective schemes such as dry-pump protection and soft pipe fill. Business impact includes reduced pump cycling, improved water-use efficiency, and lower maintenance costs, while the flexibility to tailor protections minimizes the risk of dry-running or over-pressurization. Integrated fieldbus and I/O options streamline system integration with existing PLCs or SCADA, minimizing wiring and commissioning time. Compatibility with ABB ACQ580-related packages lets users scale from pilot installations to full-field deployments without switching hardware. From a reliability perspective, this drive reduces electrical stress and can extend both drive and motor life. The result is lower total cost of ownership through energy savings, reduced downtime, and a faster return on investment for irrigation operators and OEMs.
