Part Number: 3AXD50000865215
Quick Summary
ULH irrigation drive is a compact, high‑performance motor controller for irrigation pumps and water management systems. Engineers often wrestle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and equipment wear when scaling pumps in large fields. This ABB unit meets IEEE 519 standards, features UL Type 1 IP21 enclosure, and delivers up to 150 HP at 460 V, reducing electrical stress and enabling reliable automation. Designed for irrigation applications, it integrates with fieldbus I/O, offers smart protections, and supports irrigation‑specific software for level control, flow calculations, and dry‑pump protection, driving uptime and operational efficiency.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000865215 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 with THDi under 3% and unity power factor reduces electrical stress on motors, transformers, and switchgear, delivering IEEE 519 compliant protection and improved power quality for irrigation pumps. This translates to longer equipment life, lower maintenance costs, and reliable operation in variable irrigation loads. The 40-150 HP at 460 V rating and compact wall‑mounted form factor save cabinet space, simplify retrofits, and reduce cooling requirements in pump houses used for field irrigation. The irrigation‑specific software suite—quick ramps, level control, flow and pressure calculations, dry pump protection, and soft pipe fill—provides precise control, reduces surge events, and minimizes downtime in agricultural pumping stations. UL Type 1 IP21 enclosure supports safe indoor installation and straightforward wiring with fieldbus I/O modules for scalable automation. Fieldbus compatibility and modular I/O options enable seamless integration with SCADA, PLCs, and remote monitoring, accelerating commissioning and ongoing maintenance for farm automation.

FAQs
The drive is designed for wall mounting with an indoor UL Type 1 (IP21) enclosure. It is suitable for pump houses and controlled spaces used in irrigation applications. Fieldbus and I/O modules are available to support scalable automation, making retrofit and integration with existing SCADA or PLC systems straightforward.
The unit covers a 40–150 HP range at 460V three-phase, with service current up to 180 A. It features a unity power factor and ultra-low harmonic distortion with THDi ≤ 3%, aligned to IEEE 519 standards, enabling reliable operation for irrigation pumping and related loads.
Yes, the ULH design is IEEE 519 compliant, delivering THDi at or below 3% and a unity power factor. This reduces harmonic distortion, minimizes stress on transformers and switchgear, improves energy efficiency, and enhances motor life—essential for continuous irrigation service in farms and nurseries.
Best suited for irrigation pumping stations, greenhouse and field irrigation setups, and water management systems. It supports irrigation-specific software functions such as flow calculations, level control, and dry-pump protection, enabling precise dosing and reliable operation under variable demand and hydraulic conditions.
Expect lower maintenance with improved power quality and reduced motor wear due to low THD and unified PF. The compact, wall-mounted design simplifies installation, while fieldbus/I O integration enables remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. ROI comes from uptime gains, energy efficiency, and longer equipment life in irrigation infrastructure.
