ABB ACQ580-01-145A-4 Water Drive 75 kW 145 A

Description

Using the ACQ580-01-145A-4 on a pump station

Municipal and industrial pump stations that need a 75 kW drive for a 380 to 480 V supply can use the ACQ580-01-145A-4. It delivers 145 A nominal from a frame R6 housing and combines an EMC filter, a DC choke, Safe Torque Off and Modbus RTU in the basic unit. The 75 kW rating is the only one on frame R6 and suits big pump station duties.

Typical functions in the ACQ580 pump control program are cavitation control, pump cleaning to clear impeller blockages, sleep boost to cut start-stop cycles and level control for filling or emptying tanks. Other ratings sit in AC drives, with the series description on the ABB ACQ580 page.

Duty ratings of the ACQ580-01-145A-4

ABB’s rating table lists maximum output current 178 A, nominal current 145 A, light-duty current 138 A and heavy-duty current 105 A for this type, matching 75, 75 and 55 kW motors respectively. The overload reserves are 110% and 150% for one minute every ten minutes (derived values about 151.8 A and 157.5 A). The table is valid at +40 degrees C.

Allow for 1960 W of losses and 435 m3/h of cooling air. Upstream, ABB lists 315 A fuses (170M3817) for IEC and 200 A JJS-200 for UL installations, and warns that full-speed fan noise can reach 67 dBA.

Dimensions for frame R6: IP21 727 x 252 x 369 mm at 42.4 kg; IP55 727 x 252 x 380 mm at 43 kg (heights include the gland box). ABB lists no integrated switch or C1 filter for frames above R5.

The IE5 SynRM guide in the catalogue pairs this type with 55 kW M3BL250SMA4 at 3000 rpm (123 A nominal, motor efficiency 96.4%, package efficiency 93.6%); 55 kW M3BL250SMB4 at 1500 rpm (117 A nominal, motor efficiency 96.5%, package efficiency 93.5%); 55 kW M3BL280SMB4 at 1000 rpm (119 A nominal, motor efficiency 96%, package efficiency 93%). These are calculated package efficiencies, useful for comparison rather than a commitment for a different motor.

Options that change the order

An order starts with ACQ580-01-145A-4: 01 means wall-mounted, 145A is the rating field, 4 the voltage class. Add plus codes only where needed, such as +F316 for main switch plus C1 filter (R1-R5), +C135 for flange mounting, +P944 for removing the conduit box (R5-R9) and +J429 for the ACH-AP-W Bluetooth panel.

The basic drive speaks Modbus RTU. Examples of fieldbus options with their MRP codes are Modbus/TCP FMBT-21 (+K491, 3AXD50000049964), PROFINET IO FPNO-21 (+K492, 3AXD50000192779) and DeviceNet FDNA-01 (+K451, ABB code 68469341); they install in the first option slot.

Standard features and limits: -15 to +50 degrees C operation with derating from +40, 5 to 95% humidity without condensation, 1% current derating per 100 m above 1000 m up to 4000 m, chemical-gas class C4 for the IP55 drive and control of induction, permanent magnet and synchronous reluctance motors.

About brand

ABB is the Swiss-Swedish engineering group for electrification and automation: low voltage drives, motors, circuit breakers and motor control, process instruments and analysers, control systems and robots. It was formed on 5 January 1988 by the merger of two older companies. ASEA was founded in Västerås, Sweden, in 1883 by Ludvig Fredholm to make electric lighting and generators. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in Baden near Zurich in 1891 by Charles E. L. Brown and Walter Boveri. ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland, headquartered in Zurich and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

Choosing an ABB drive

ABB's ACS drive codes are easy to read once you know the pattern. In ACS580-01-046A-4, "ACS580" is the drive family, "01" means a wall-mounted single drive, "046A" is the rated output current (about 46 A) and "-4" means a 380–480 V supply. The family is chosen by application: ACS355 for compact machinery, ACS310 for simple pumps and fans, ACS580 as the general-purpose drive, ACQ580 for water and wastewater with pump functions such as pipe fill and dry-run protection, and ACS880 for heavy industrial duty with direct torque control. Size the drive on the motor's full-load current, not only its kW rating, and allow derating for the high ambient temperatures common in Gulf electrical rooms.

Where ABB products are used

In Oman and the GCC, ABB drives and motors run pumps, fans and compressors in water and wastewater plants, district cooling, oil and gas and industry. ABB flowmeters, level instruments and analysers are used in water utilities, power and desalination plants and refineries, and SACE breakers protect switchboards in buildings and plants.
