ABB 3AXD50000865178 ULH irrigation drive - UL Type 1 (IP21)
Part Number: 3AXD50000865178
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865178 ULH irrigation drive provides compact, low-harmonic motor control for irrigation pumps. In many installations, harmonic distortion and poor power factor elevate energy costs and stress electrical equipment. It is IEEE 519 compliant with THDi ≤ 3% and available in UL Type 1 (IP21) housings for field installation. The irrigation-specific software enables quick ramps, level and flow control, dry pump protection, and soft pipe fill, supporting reliable, efficient irrigation. With built-in fieldbus and I/O options, it integrates smoothly with SCADA and PLCs, reducing commissioning time. The 40-150 HP rating at 460V three-phase maps to typical irrigation systems, delivering consistent performance and a clear path to ROI.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865178 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
