ABB ACQ580 Drives for water and wastewater

The ACQ580 is the latest addition to the ABB drives portfolio. 

This robust, compact and energy efficient drive is designed for

securing the flow of water and wastewater in your pumping system.

The drive is available in power ranges from 1 to 150 HP at 230V, 1 to

350 HP at 460V, and 2 to 250 HP at 575V. It is available in UL Type

(NEMA) 1 and 12 enclosures.

Secure the flow

The ACQ580 variable frequency drive (VFD) delivers innovative

pumping features for the water and wastewater industry. Primary

Setting menu and assistants simplifies commissioning, setup and

daily control. Embedded water and wastewater application

features create an intuitive environment for users and dedicated

pumping features enhance the performance of the pumping system.

Speak the language

Leveraging clear, water industry terminology, the control panel

enables operators to efficiently interface with the drives in terms

they use every day. The optional Bluetooth control panel allows for

wireless commissioning and monitoring.

Feel the Power

ACQ580 drives are designed for customers who value reliability,

high quality, and robustness. With embedded pump functionality,

the ACQ580 keeps the pump system operating optimally and

efficiently. Product features, such as coated boards and optional

compact UL Type 12 enclosures, make the ACQ580 suitable for harsh conditions.

All ACQ580 drives are current-rated devices. The HP ratings

provided are for reference only and are based on typical

4-pole motors at nominal voltages (NEC Table 430.250). If

full motor torque is required, ensure the drive has a

continuous current rating equal to, or greater than the full

load amp rating of the motor.

The ACQ580 is available in both normal and heavy-duty

ratings. Normal duty ratings provide a 110% short term

overload rating for one minute every ten minutes. Heavy

duty ratings provide a 150% short term overload rating for

one minute every ten minutes. All ACQ580 drives and their

protective functions are thoroughly tested for optimal performance.
