According to IEC 60034-5, the motor will be weather protected when due to its design ( technical discussion between customer and WEG ), the defined protections provide a correct operation of the motor against rain, dust and snow.
WEG also uses the letter W to indicate the degree of protection of the motor to indicate that the motor has a special paint plan ( weather protected ). The painting plans may vary according to the environmental severity, which should be informed by the customer during motor specification/order.
Aggressive environments require that equipment be perfectly suitable to support such conditions ensuring high reliability in service without showing any problems. WEG manufacturers a wide range of electric motors with special characteristics, suitable for use in shipyards, ports, fishing plants and several naval applications, as well as in chemical and petrochemical industries and other aggressive environments. So WEG motors are suitable to operate under the most severe operational conditions.
