WEG Three-phase Induction Motors — W60 Vertical Line
WEG W60 Vertical Motor Supply — Australia
MNP Electrical supplies the WEG W60 Vertical three-phase induction motor across Australia. The W60 Vertical is a medium to high voltage squirrel cage induction motor engineered specifically for vertical mounting applications — delivering robust performance in operating conditions where standard horizontal motors cannot be used.
The W60 Vertical line features a flexible electromagnetic and mechanical design that allows it to withstand significant external axial loads — making it the preferred choice for vertically mounted pumps in water and wastewater, power generation, oil & gas, and other demanding industrial sectors. Its modular construction supports multiple cooling configurations to suit a wide range of environments and installation requirements.
Contact MNP Electrical with your Electric Motor requirements, and we’ll source the right W60 Vertical specification and supply it anywhere in Australia.
WEG W60 Vertical — Product Overview

Cooling Configurations
The W60 Vertical’s modular design supports multiple cooling configurations — allowing the motor to be matched precisely to your installation environment, whether open-air, enclosed, or where water cooling is preferred.
IC01 — WP-II
Open Self-Ventilated
Open drip-proof motor with self-ventilation via an internal shaft-mounted fan. Suitable for clean, dry environments where natural airflow is available. The most straightforward and cost-effective cooling option for suitable outdoor installations.
IC611 — TEAAC
Enclosed Air-Air Cooled
Totally enclosed motor with an air-to-air heat exchanger — cooling air circulates inside the motor frame without contact with the external environment. Ideal for dusty or contaminated environments where internal components must be fully protected. IP55 rated.
IC81W — TEWAC
Enclosed Air-Water Cooled
Totally enclosed motor with an air-to-water heat exchanger — internal cooling air is cooled via water circulating through the heat exchanger. Delivers the most compact footprint and highest power density, making it ideal for offshore platforms, ships, and space-constrained installations.
