Product details

R8 irrigation drive — heavy- and light-overload duty

The ABB 3AUD0000003512 is an ACQ580 irrigation drive package in the R8 frame size, fed from a 208-240 V three-phase supply. For pump and fan loads on a 460 V motor, the UL heavy-duty rating lands at 75 Hp / 211 A; the light-overload ceiling goes to 100 Hp / 273 A. That 22 % current headroom under light-overload means the drive can handle a pump that cycles up to 110 % rated flow for short periods without tripping — useful for irrigation schedules that spike during priming or flush cycles.

Enclosure and deployment context

NEMA Type 1 enclosure (IP21) suits indoor or sheltered installation — think pump houses, valve pits with a roof, or enclosed irrigation skids. Not rated for washdown or direct outdoor exposure; if the drive sits in a field panel exposed to spray, plan for a separate IP-rated cabinet. The R8 frame typically lands on a backplate with clearance for the incoming line reactor and DC bus; panel layout should leave 100 mm above and below for airflow.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3AUD0000003512 and get a price?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit a request and we confirm availability and current pricing at quote time.

What is the frame size of 3AUD0000003512?

R8 frame size — the same mechanical footprint as other ACQ580 R8 drives, so existing panel cutouts and bus bars carry over if you are swapping from another R8 variant.

What are the heavy-duty vs light-overload ratings at 460 V?

Heavy-duty: 75 Hp / 211 A. Light-overload: 100 Hp / 273 A. The heavy-duty number is the one to use for continuous pump or fan duty at full rated current; light-overload allows temporary overloads typical of irrigation priming cycles.
