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.","metaTitle":"ABB 3AUD0000003512 ACQ580 irrigation drive, 100 Hp, 273 A, R","metaDescription":"ABB ACQ580 irrigation drive package R8 frame, 100 Hp light-overload, 75 Hp heavy-duty at 460 V, 273 A / 211 A.
