FAQs
Yes, the ACQ580 ULH irrigation drive is designed for wall-mounted installation, ideal for retrofit into compact pump stations. It offers UL Type 1 enclosure with IP21 protection and supports 40-150 HP at 460V three-phase. It also provides fieldbus and I/O module options for integration with existing automation systems, simplifying wiring, control wiring, and commissioning while preserving space efficiency.
The ULH design limits harmonic distortion to THD <= 3% and maintains unity power factor, reducing electrical stress on motors and transformers. Compliance with IEEE 519 ensures current harmonic limits are met for safe operation in irrigation installations, improving reliability and downstream equipment life, especially under variable load conditions typical of irrigation pumping.
Best suited for irrigation pumping, sprinkler networks, and greenhouse watering systems, the drive supports level control, flow calculations, and protections like dry pump detection and soft pipe fill. Its 40-150 HP range at 460V enables efficient control of medium to large irrigation pumps, with reliable protection against dry running and fluctuating hydraulic demands.
The drive is UL Type 1 with IP21 enclosure, suitable for indoor pump rooms and controlled environments. IEEE 519 compliance ensures harmonic limits are respected, supporting regulatory adherence and grid compatibility. Installation benefits include easier mounting in standard electrical cabinets, straightforward wiring to 460V three-phase power, and compatibility with fieldbus-enabled automation networks.
Owners can expect energy savings from unity power factor and low harmonic distortion, reducing utility costs over time. The compact design lowers space and installation costs, while irrigation-specific software simplifies commissioning and pump protection. Long-term reliability, reduced wear on pumps, and scalable fieldbus/I/O options contribute to favorable return on investment.
