ABB ACQ580-01-062A-4 Water Drive 30 kW 62 A

ACQ580-01-062A-4: 62 A for water and wastewater pumping

Municipal and industrial pump stations that need a 30 kW drive for a 380 to 480 V supply can use the ACQ580-01-062A-4. It delivers 62 A nominal from a frame R4 housing and combines an EMC filter, a DC choke, Safe Torque Off and Modbus RTU in the basic unit. The 30 kW rating opens frame R4, a size seen on inflow and sludge pumps.

The pump program is the main reason to choose the ACQ580 over a general purpose drive. Built-in functions include sleep boost to cut start-stop cycles, level control for filling or emptying tanks, sensorless flow and head calculation and flow and pressure protection against dry running. Neighbouring ratings are listed in AC drives, and ABB’s water drive family is described on the ABB ACQ580 page.

Technical specifications

Sizing the ACQ580-01-062A-4 for the pump motor

ABB’s rating table lists maximum output current 81 A, nominal current 62 A, light-duty current 58 A and heavy-duty current 44.6 A for this type, matching 30, 30 and 22 kW motors respectively. The overload reserves are 110% and 150% for one minute every ten minutes (derived values about 63.8 A and 66.9 A). The table is valid at +40 degrees C.

For protection ABB recommends 100 A IEC fuses of type 170M1567 (aR or uR) or, for UL, 80 A fuses of type JJS-80. Typical heat loss is 776 W and the cooling air flow 150 m3/h, with a maximum noise level of 70 dBA at full fan speed. Cabinet designers should plan to remove that heat.

Mounting space for the ACQ580-01-062A-4: 203 mm wide, 257 mm deep and 636 mm high in IP21 form, 19 kg. IP55 needs 203 mm by 265 mm, stands 636 mm tall and weighs 20 kg. With a main switch or C1 filter fitted, ABB lists the IP55 body at 879 x 206 x 286 mm and 23.3 kg.

ABB’s IE5 synchronous reluctance motor selection guide lists the ACQ580-01-062A-4 with 22 kW M3BL180MLB4 at 3000 rpm (50.5 A nominal, motor efficiency 95.5%, package efficiency 92.5%); 22 kW M3BL180MLC4 at 1500 rpm (49.4 A nominal, motor efficiency 95.4%, package efficiency 92.1%); 22 kW M3BL200MLB4 at 1000 rpm (47 A nominal, motor efficiency 95%, package efficiency 91.9%). The package values are ABB calculations for drive and motor together, so treat them as a guide for comparing options.

Decoding the ordering code

An order starts with ACQ580-01-062A-4: 01 means wall-mounted, 062A is the rating field, 4 the voltage class. Add plus codes only where needed, such as +L512 for CHDI-01 (115/230 V inputs), +L523 for CMOD-02 (isolated PTC), +L525 for CAIO-01 (3 AI, 2 AO) and +L537 for the ATEX-certified CPTC-02 (needs +Q971).

Modbus RTU over EIA-485 is standard. Fieldbus adapters plug into slot one; the catalogue lists PROFINET IO FPNO-21 (+K492, 3AXD50000192779), DeviceNet FDNA-01 (+K451, ABB code 68469341) and PROFIBUS DP FPBA-01 (+K454, 68469325). A second slot takes extension I/O.

Standard features and limits: 1% current derating per 100 m above 1000 m up to 4000 m, chemical-gas class C4 for the IP55 drive, control of induction, permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors, IE2 efficiency class to IEC 61800-9-2 and Safe Torque Off to SIL 3 / PL e.
