Drive specs and fit
This ABB ACQ580-01 (order code 3AXD50001109561) is a wall-mounted LV AC drive rated for 5.5 kW normal use at 12.6 A on a 400 V 3-phase supply. It's built for water and wastewater applications — the IP66 and NEMA Type 4X enclosure means it can sit outdoors or in washdown zones without an extra cabinet. The drive ships with the control unit included, so you don't need to order a separate controller card. Power factor sits at 0.98, and standby loss is a low 14 W — useful if the pump runs intermittently and you're tracking idle energy. The drive accepts line frequencies from 47.5 to 63 Hz, so it handles 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply without a firmware change.
You get 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs for pressure or flow transducers, plus 6 digital inputs and 3 digital outputs for start/stop and status feedback. Communication is over CAN bus — there's no built-in Ethernet port, so if you need Ethernet/IP or Modbus TCP, you'll add an option module. The onboard CR2032 lithium coin cell keeps the real-time clock alive during power loss.
Duty ratings and UL
Three duty ratings cover the load profiles you'll see in the field. Normal use (Pn) is 5.5 kW at 12.6 A — that's the standard pump curve. Heavy-duty use (PhD) is 4 kW at 9.4 A for constant-torque loads like screw pumps or aerators. Light-overload use (PlD) is also 5.5 kW but at 12 A, with a UL listing of 8 Hp at 12 A on 460 V. Pick the duty that matches your motor's service factor.
