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 → Reduces power system stress and equipment wear, lowering maintenance costs and improving pump uptime in expansive irrigation networks. This compact solution supports unity power factor with THDi ≤ 3%, translating to safer, more efficient electrical infrastructures and fewer trips on feeders in remote farm installations. Application: irrigation pumps and water transfer systems where long cable runs and varying load are common. IEEE 519 compliant harmonic control → Improves overall power quality, enabling compliant operation in utility-driven sites and reducing nuisance faults. Business impact: smoother operations and fewer protective trips, which lowers downtime and extends motor life. Application: farm centers, golf courses, and large campus irrigation systems that demand consistent performance with minimal electrical noise. UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure → Enables safe indoor or protected outdoor installation with reliable ingress protection. Business impact: faster commissioning, fewer enclosure-related delays, and safer maintenance in challenging field conditions. Application: pump houses, agricultural buildings, and open-air irrigation setups where protection against dust and moisture is needed. Irrigation-specific software → Provides quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, and flow/pressure protection. Business impact: precise water dosing, reduced over-pumping, and improved resource efficiency. Application: belt-and-suspenders control for irrigation pumps, mainline stations, and large-scale watering schemes. Dry-pump and soft-fill protections → Minimize dry-run damage and water hammer risks, protecting both pumps and piping. Business impact: longer pump life, fewer catastrophic failures, and lower replacement costs. Application: well and reservoir-based irrigation systems with variable start/stop cycles. Fieldbus and I/O modularity → Accelerates installation, simplifies integration with existing automation, and supports future expansion. Business impact: reduced commissioning time and improved interoperability across ABB’s ACQ580 ecosystem. Application: modernized irrigation farms upgrading to digital control architectures.

FAQs
For installation, consider mounting in a protected UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure and routing cables for 460V 3-phase systems. Ensure proper cooling and ventilation, verify fieldbus compatibility with existing PLCs, and plan for adequate electrical clearance. Use the irrigation-specific software features to set up level and flow protection, quick ramps, and dry-pump protection to prevent dry running and water hammer. This approach minimizes commissioning time and protects pumps and piping from surge events.
Key specs include 40–150 HP (approximately 30–110 kW) at 460V three-phase operation, unity power factor, and THDi of 3% or less to meet IEEE 519 requirements. The drive is UL Type 1 (IP21) rated for protected environments, and supports irrigation-specific software with protective functions such as flow and pressure protection, soft pipe fill, and dry-pump protection. Fieldbus I/O options enable seamless integration with existing automation systems.
Yes. The drive is designed for UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure protection, making it suitable for indoor pump houses and sheltered outdoor spaces typical in agricultural settings. Its compact ULH design minimizes footprint while maintaining robust protection against dust and moisture. For harsher outdoor installations, ensure a sheltered location or additional enclosure protection while leveraging the drive’s fieldbus and protection features to maintain reliability.
The ABB 3AXD50000865123 drive is engineered to achieve THDi at or below 3% and maintain a unity power factor, aligning with IEEE 519 recommendations. This reduces harmonic distortion and electrical stress on feeders, transformers, and other equipment, leading to improved reliability and longer service life for pumps and motor control gear in irrigation networks.
ROI comes from energy efficiency gains due to unity power factor and reduced harmonic losses, lower maintenance costs thanks to protective features (dry-pump protection, flow/pressure protection), and fewer downtime events from improved reliability. Additionally, faster deployment with fieldbus readiness and scalable I/O reduces total project expenses when upgrading from legacy drives in irrigation schemes.
