ABB 3AXD50000865147 - ULH Irrigation Drive IEEE519 Compliance
Part Number: 3AXD50000865147
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865147 is an ULH irrigation drive designed to optimize wall-mounted LV pumping in agricultural installations. In many farms, engineers struggle with harmonic distortion, power quality issues, and limited space near pumps. It delivers unity power factor with THD at or below 3% while supporting 40-150 HP at 460 V, addressing both performance and efficiency. This solution carries IEEE 519 compliance and UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure for safer, compliant operation in active irrigation environments. By combining irrigation-specific software with fieldbus options and I/O modules, it enables precise level control, protection logic, and scalable integration with existing PLCs. The result is reduced electrical stress, lower energy waste, and smoother pump operation that translates to higher crop yield and lower lifecycle costs.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865147 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

FAQs
This drive is designed for 460 V three-phase systems and comes in a UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure suitable for indoor or sheltered installations. Ensure ambient conditions, electrical clearances, and service access meet local codes. Verify fieldbus and I/O module compatibility with the existing PLC setup before integration to minimize downtime.
The unit supports 40-150 HP at 460 V in a wall-mounted configuration with a unity power factor and total harmonic distortion ≤ 3%. It complies with IEEE 519, which helps maintain power quality and protect downstream equipment in irrigation pump applications.
The ACQ580-based ULH irrigation drive is offered in a UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure, which is best for indoor or sheltered spaces. For exposed outdoor installations, plan for a protective enclosure or enclosure-rated housing to meet IP ratings appropriate for the site and protect against dust and moisture.
It includes irrigation-specific software with level control, flow calculations, flow/pressure protection, and dry-pump protection, plus soft pipe fill. These features minimize water hammer, protect pumps from dry running, and enable precise sequencing, enhancing reliability and reducing unplanned downtime.
ROI comes from reduced harmonic distortion, improved energy efficiency, and longer motor life due to better power quality. The integrated protections and streamlined commissioning reduce maintenance costs and downtime, while fieldbus/I/O options enable scalable, plant-wide control that supports long-term operational savings.
