ABB 3AXD50000865130 LV AC Irrigation Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AXD50000865130
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865130 is a ULH irrigation drive that precisely controls pumps in agricultural irrigation systems. In practice, sites often contend with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and downtime caused by mismatched drives. This unit is IEEE 519 compliant with THiD ≤ 3% and offers unity power factor, packaged in a compact UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure for reliable outdoor-walled installations. With a 40–150 HP range at 460 V three-phase and irrigation-specific software, level control, and protection features, it simplifies commissioning and protection strategies. For engineering teams and procurement specialists, the result is lower installation risk, improved energy efficiency, and streamlined compliance reporting.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865130 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 performance delivers THiD ≤ 3% and unity power factor, reducing distortion in upstream transformers and switchgear. This minimizes heat, equipment wear, and energy waste, especially in load-following irrigation pumps where rapid valve actions are common. Suitable for 40–150 HP irrigation installations at 460V three-phase, it directly improves power quality in complex farm facilities. Compact, wall-mounted architecture with UL Type 1/IP21 protection provides a space-saving, easy-to-install solution in pump houses or exterior walls. The compact footprint reduces wiring runs and enclosure costs, while maintaining reliable protection against dust and incidental moisture in typical irrigation environments. Irrigation-specific software includes rapid ramps, level control, flow calculations, dry-pump protection, soft pipe fill, and configurable protections. This leads to precise irrigation scheduling, safer pump operation, and improved water management in greenhouses, orchards, and field irrigation. Comprehensive fieldbus and I/O options enable seamless integration with existing control systems, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time. The drive is compatible with ABB’s ACQ580 irrigation packages, ensuring scalable expansion and easier maintenance across multi-pump installations. Rigorous protection and robust design support long-term reliability in demanding agricultural environments. The UL Type 1 enclosure and IP21 rating provide resilience against dust and moisture, while integrated protections minimize unplanned downtime and extend pump life.
