ABB 3AXD50001010799 Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AXD50001010799
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50001010799 Drive is an ultra-low harmonic, wall-mounted drive designed for reliable water and wastewater pumping applications. This solution addresses harmonic-related efficiency losses and equipment stress that challenge pumping stations, delivering consistent flow with reduced electrical noise. The ultra-low harmonic design targets THDi well below 3% and includes an integrated low harmonic line filter, eliminating the need for external filters or complex multi-pulse configurations. Built-in pump application features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection keep operations safe and efficient. With standard IP21 enclosure and optional IP55 or flange mounting, installation is streamlined while delivering business value through reliability, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001010799 ABB: The ACQ580-31 drives deliver innovative pump features for the water and wastewater industry, securing energy efficient flow of water and wastewater in your pumping solutions. The ultra-low harmonic variant provides ultimate harmonic performance, reaching even less than 3 % THDi, and exceeding the requirements set by low harmonic standards and recommendations. The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction. This robust and compact wall-mounted drive has built-in pump application functionality such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, quick ramps and a solution for keeping the impeller of the pump clean. Usability is further enhanced with the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, the PC tool Drive composer and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The ultra-low harmonic wall-mounted variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Ultra-low harmonic architecture with integrated line filter enables THDi < 3%, reducing mains distortion and electrical stress while eliminating external filters, multi-pulse setups, or special transformers. Business impact: lower installation costs, simplified commissioning, and improved energy efficiency in water and wastewater pumping. Application: municipal lift stations and wastewater treatment plants benefit from cleaner power and longer motor life. Integrated supply unit, output voltage boost, and power factor correction boost overall drive performance, delivering measurable energy savings and smoother operation in variable-load pumping scenarios. Business impact: higher efficiency, reduced demand charges, and improved power quality. Application: plants with tight power-factor requirements or head-variation loads. Built-in pump features such as sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection reduce startup time, prevent dry running, and minimize maintenance needs. Application: multi-pump basins and critical process tanks. Hand-Off-Auto control panel, Drive Composer PC tool, and optional Bluetooth control panel improve commissioning, monitoring, and remote diagnostics. Business impact: faster setup, easier maintenance, and enhanced operator usability. Application: field service teams and OEM integrations.

FAQs
This wall-mounted drive is designed for compact installations with an IP21 enclosure standard. It supports IP55 options and flange mounting, reducing footprint and enabling easy integration into existing pump rooms. Key connections include 230 V (AC) supply and a 114 A current rating, with 40 HP capacity, ensuring compatibility with typical wastewater pump assemblies.
The drive features an integrated low harmonic line filter and an ultra-low harmonic topology that targets THDi below 3%. This minimizes distortion on the supply, lowers heating in motors, reduces EMI, and eliminates need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements, leading to energy savings and longer equipment life.
The drive includes sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, and dry-run protection. These features improve control accuracy, prevent pump damage during startup or low-flow conditions, and enable smooth transitions between multiple pumps, reducing downtime and maintenance needs.
Standard configuration uses an IP21 enclosure suitable for indoor installations, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for harsher environments or outdoor/space-constrained layouts. This flexibility helps engineers fit the drive into existing plant layouts while maintaining safety and protection standards.
ROI comes from energy savings due to improved power factor and reduced harmonic losses, lower maintenance from integrated protection features, and simplified commissioning via Drive Composer and intuitive control panels. Combined, these factors shorten payback periods and reduce total cost of ownership for municipal and industrial pumping projects.
