The ABB 3AUD0000000694 is an HVAC packaged ultra-low harmonic drive from the ACH580 series, rated at 10 Hp and 14 A output on 460 V under UL light-overload duty. It ships in an R3 frame with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure and IP21 protection — suitable for indoor mechanical-room installs where the drive sees dry, non-condensing air and no washdown. The built-in non-fused disconnect means the drive arrives as a self-contained power-entry package, saving a separate disconnect enclosure and the wiring between them. That cuts panel space and install time on commercial HVAC fan and pump retrofits.
Lifecycle status is active — ABB still produces this order code.
The 14 A light-overload rating (UL) governs the maximum continuous motor current the drive can deliver without derating. On a 460 V supply, that maps to 10 Hp for a typical 4-pole induction motor driving a fan or centrifugal pump — the standard HVAC load profile. The 50/60 Hz line frequency acceptance covers both 50 Hz and 60 Hz grids, so the same unit works on a 50 Hz European supply or a 60 Hz North American one without a hardware change. The R3 frame size determines the mounting footprint and the gland-plate entry pattern. If you are swapping into an existing panel, verify the R3 drill pattern matches your backplate layout — the ACH580 R3 is a common size for this power band, but the mounting centers differ from the smaller R2 or larger R4 frames. Install it inside a conditioned mechanical room or a ventilated electrical enclosure; if the environment sees moisture or dust, plan for a higher-IP enclosure or a separate cabinet.
