ABB Automation ACQ580 variable-frequency drive

ABB Automation’s ACQ580 VFD has a pump-clean feature that dislodges debris from impellers, while the sensorless flow calculations feature provides accurate flow measurement without a flowmeter. The soft-pipe fill mode reduces water hammer damage, and the quick-ramp feature protects submersible pumps. It is compatible with the ABB Ability condition monitoring services, which provides real-time data about the status and performance of the monitored equipment from any location. The VFD also features dry-run protection that prevents pumps from running without water and embedded PID controllers that automate flow, pressure, level and dissolved oxygen. The multipump control feature manages operation of up to eight pumps simultaneously. 800-752-0696; www.abb.com
