Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001075989 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.

FAQs
Consider mounting location to fit the IP21 standard enclosure, ensuring space for the compact wall-mounted unit. Verify cable routing for 230 V supply and 30.8 A current, and plan for integration with the Drive Composer PC tool and Hand-Off-Auto panel. Take advantage of the integrated low harmonic filter to reduce external component needs and simplify installation in retrofit projects.
The drive combines an ultra-low harmonic topology with an integrated low harmonic filter and an active supply unit to suppress harmonic distortion. THDi performance below 3% is typical under standard pump loading with sensorless control. Performance is influenced by load profile, pump type, wiring quality, and proper configuration via Drive Composer.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control and level control, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps. Dry-run protection helps prevent pump damage during start-up or when fluid is not present, improving reliability in wastewater lift stations and municipal pumping networks.
The device is designed for low-harmonic compliance with integrated filtering and an IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 variants available. The data indicates a UL reference for performance (10 Hp at 230 V, 30.8 A), and the product is designed to meet common industrial standards for water and wastewater applications.
ROI benefits stem from energy savings due to improved power factor and reduced THDi, as well as lower maintenance costs thanks to the integrated low harmonic filter and reduced external components. Operational efficiency is enhanced by features such as sensorless flow calculation, dry run protection, and Drive Composer-driven commissioning, delivering faster deployment and longer pump life.
