Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001075996 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
This drive is designed for straightforward retrofit or new installations in water and wastewater facilities. Mount on a protected wall, connect to standard 230 V three‑phase power, and integrate with existing motor starters. Use the Hand-Off-Auto panel for quick commissioning and the Drive Composer tool for configuration. Ensure suitable space for the integrated filter and any optional IP55 mounting hardware.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THDi typically under 3%, significantly reducing harmonic distortion in the supply. This minimizes electrical interference, lowers cooling requirements, and reduces the need for external harmonic filters. The result is improved system efficiency, longer motor life, and a better power factor across variable-speed pumping applications.
Yes. The drive offers multipump control and level control features, enabling coordinated operation of multiple pumps and efficient handling of fluctuating demand. Sensorless flow calculation and quick ramping support smooth start/stops, reducing mechanical stress and extending pump life in plant-wide pump trains and lift stations.
Key certifications include UL listing for safety and reliability. The standard IP21 enclosure provides basic protection, with IP55 options and flange-mount configurations available for harsher environments. These features help meet installation codes and support compliant operation in municipal and industrial water applications.
ROI is driven by energy savings from improved power factor and reduced harmonic losses, along with lower maintenance costs due to integrated filters and protective functions. The built-in pump features shorten commissioning and reduce downtime, while compact installation lowers cabinet costs. Over time, these factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership and accelerated payback in municipal and industrial pumping systems.
