Lowara 4OS replacement motors drive Lowara GS and other compatible 4-inch bore-pump ends for water supply and irrigation. They can replace a failed motor while retaining a serviceable pump section. Versions are available for single-phase and three-phase installations.
For compatible Lowara GS and other 4-inch NEMA bore-pump ends.
The corresponding Lowara ranges are Lowara 1GS, Lowara 2GS, Lowara 4GS, Lowara 6GS, Lowara 8GS, Lowara 12GS, Lowara 16GS. Select the motor power and electrical version for the particular pump.
Two-wire single-phase motors have starting equipment and motor protection built in. Three-wire single-phase motors require a matching external starter/control box. Three-phase motors require suitable starting equipment and overload protection.
The motor lead is included. The pump end, external control panel and cable jointing kit are not included. Extend the lead with correctly sized submersible cable and a waterproof joint suited to the installation.
Keep the motor submerged and provide water flow around its exterior for cooling. The standard water-temperature limit is 35°C with adequate cooling flow. A cooling sleeve may be needed in a wide bore or tank. Maximum motor submergence is 150m below the water surface. Do not run dry.
The oil-filled motor has windings that can be rewound during repair. It has a stainless-steel outer sleeve and a mechanical seal protected by a sand guard.
Replacement considerations
The standard NEMA connection allows cross-brand replacement where the pump and motor are correctly matched. Your installer needs to confirm that the motor can drive the pump and that the coupling, controls and installation suit the replacement. A higher motor rating does not by itself increase pump flow or pressure.
If the installation uses a variable-speed controller, confirm the motor version before ordering. The 4OS installation manual specifies a specially ordered motor for frequency-converter operation.
Two-year warranty, subject to the applicable Australian Lowara supply terms and consumer rights.
