Operators often battle harmonic distortion, wasted energy, and maintenance headaches in field pump stations. The drive delivers IEEE 519 ultra-low harmonic performance and a UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure, with CE-ready safety features to support global compliance. Benefits include unity power factor, THiD of 3% or less, and robust protections that reduce pump wear and unexpected downtime. By combining irrigation-specific software with scalable I/O options, this solution accelerates implementation, simplifies commissioning, and lowers lifecycle costs for utilities, farms, and landscape projects while aligning with industry standards.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865109 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.
ULH design and a compact wall-mount form factor reduce cabinet footprint and installation costs, improving space utilization in irrigation pump houses. The smaller enclosure simplifies heat management and cable routing, boosting reliability in outdoor or harsh indoor environments. Application: irrigation pumping stations, farm irrigation packages, and municipal water facilities benefit from faster retrofits and neater control rooms. IEEE 519 ultra-low harmonic performance delivers a unity power factor and THiD of 3% or less, reducing stress on transformers, switchgear, and motors. Business impact: lower energy waste, longer motor life, and reduced maintenance costs. Application: critical irrigation duty cycles and variable-flow pumping scenarios where power quality matters. Irrigation-specific software adds protective logic and programmable functions, including quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, flow and pressure protection, and dry pump protection. Business impact: smarter protection reduces pump stalls and dry-running incidents, while soft-start features minimize pressure surges. Application: pumping stations requiring precise water management and fail-safe operation. Integrated fieldbus and I/O modules support seamless PLC/SCADA integration, speeding installation and future upgrades. Business impact: fewer integration headaches, easier diagnostics, and scalable automation. Application: multi-pump farms, centralized water networks, and agricultural cooperatives deploying remote monitoring. Global enclosure and rating coverage—UL Type 1 IP21 for indoor installations and a broad HP range of 40–150 HP at 460V three-phase—provides flexibility and future-proofing. Business impact: a single drive family can cover a wide variety of pump sizes, reducing spares and procurement complexity. Application: retrofits, new builds, and expanding irrigation infrastructure.

FAQs
What enclosure and mounting considerations apply? The ULH irrigation drive uses a UL Type 1 (IP21) indoor-friendly enclosure and is designed for wall-mount installation, simplifying retrofits in existing pump houses and new irrigation facilities. It supports fieldbus and I/O modules for seamless PLC/SCADA integration, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THiD of 3% or less and unity power factor, which minimizes stress on upstream transformers and downstream motors, improving reliability and reducing energy waste in irrigation pumps.
Yes. The ACQ580 ULH irrigation package includes fieldbus and I/O modules, enabling straightforward integration with common PLCs and SCADA systems used in modern irrigation networks, farms, and municipal water projects.
Applications with variable water demand, lengthy pump runs, or sensitive electrical infrastructure benefit most. The device’s protective software (flow, level, dry-pump protection) and rapid ramps help manage pressure surges, reduce wear, and ensure reliable operation in pumping stations and large-scale irrigation systems.
Expect lower energy costs due to improved power quality, reduced motor wear from harmonic mitigation, and fewer unplanned outages thanks to integrated protections. The compact design also lowers installation and retrofit costs, while fieldbus compatibility simplifies upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
