ABB 3AXD50000865208 ULH Irrigation Drive - IEEE519
Part Number: 3AXD50000865208
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000865208 ULH irrigation drive is a compact, wall-mounted variable-frequency drive designed for irrigation pumping systems. Engineers often battle footprint constraints, wiring complexity, and harmonic distortion when upgrading pumps in field environments. This drive mitigates those challenges by delivering unity power factor and a THD of 3% or less, while occupying a fraction of the space of traditional installations. It features a UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure and IEEE 519 compliant operation to help meet safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements. With irrigation-specific software, quick ramps, level control, flow calculations, and dry-pump protection, it enables precise, dependable performance; plus, fieldbus and I/O options simplify integration with existing controls. The result is lower total cost of ownership and improved system uptime.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865208 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 design reduces electrical stress and extends equipment life, delivering THD of 3% or less and unity power factor to protect motors and downstream gear. The compact, wall-mounted form factor frees cabinet space in pump houses and greenhouses, simplifying retrofit projects and enabling easier heat management. A 3-phase, 460 V operating range with 40–150 HP support makes it suitable for a wide spectrum of irrigation pumps, from small orchard systems to large field setups. Irrigation-specific software includes rapid ramps, flow calculations, level protection, dry-pump protection, and soft pipe fill, accelerating commissioning and improving protection against dry-running and overfill scenarios. Fieldbus and I/O module compatibility plus optional irrigation package modules streamline system integration and control architecture. By aligning with IEEE 519 standards and offering a UL Type 1/IP21 enclosure, installation compliance, reliability, and long-term maintenance are enhanced while lifecycle costs are reduced.

FAQs
This drive is designed for wall-mounted installation and 460 V three-phase systems. Plan for adequate ventilation within an UL Type 1 enclosure, ensure IP21-rated installation in indoor pump rooms, and verify compatibility with existing fieldbus networks and I/O modules. Account for torque, wiring routing, and shielded cables to minimize interference and maximize the drive’s low-harmonic performance.
The ULH irrigation drive delivers unity power factor with a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 3% or less, when operating within its specified 40–150 HP at 460 V 3-phase range. This minimizes electrical stress on transformers and motors, improves electrical efficiency, and helps meet IEEE 519 harmonic requirements in utility feeds.
Yes. The drive is built for irrigation applications with irrigation-specific software that supports flow calculations, level control, and dry-pump protection. Its compact wall-mount form and 40–150 HP range at 460 V make it adaptable for greenhouse irrigation rigs and field pumping stations, while fieldbus/I/O compatibility simplifies integration with existing farm automation systems.
The drive features UL Type 1 enclosure with IP21 protection and IEEE 519 compliant harmonic performance, which supports regulatory compliance and equipment safety. While primarily noted for UL and IEC-aligned standards, its low THD and safeguarded enclosure help meet common industry expectations for irrigation power electronics.
Expect reduced energy usage due to unity PF and low THD, leading to lower utility costs and reduced electrical stress on motors. The irrigation-focused software improves reliability through protections like dry-pump and level control, while the compact design saves space and simplifies maintenance. Fieldbus compatibility also lowers commissioning time and ongoing integration costs.
