The Lowara PLM4132B3/375 E3 is a three-phase induction motor built by Lowara. The rated output is 7.5 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The housing is frame size 132. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 90.7 per cent at full load, 91.3 per cent at 75 per cent load and 90.8 per cent at half load. Mounting arrangements to IEC 60034-7: B3, B5, B14, B34 and B35. Stated countries of manufacture: Poland and Italy. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the Lowara range ranges from 0.75 to 22 kW; the PLM4132B3/375 E3 sits in the lower part of that range with 7.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the PLM4132B3/355 E3 below it with 5.5 kW and the 130646410 above it with 11 kW. 43 Lowara models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 21 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Lowara – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered pump motors from the Xylem brand in Montecchio Maggiore outside the named ranges, frame sizes 80 to 180, 0.75 to 22 kW, only 2- and 4-pole

This page gathers the Lowara three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. Lowara is an Italian pump maker headquartered in Montecchio Maggiore in the province of Vicenza and, since being spun off from ITT in 2011, part of the US water-technology group Xylem; the motors drive only Lowara's own centrifugal and multistage pumps, which explains the restriction to two- and four-pole versions. Some models are recorded in the register only under a numeric article number (such as 130646230), others under the PLM type designation, followed by frame size, mounting code and the E3 suffix for the efficiency class.

The register lists here 43 versions with 0.75 to 22 kW, two- or four-pole, full-load efficiencies from 74.35 to 93.1% and at 75% load from 72.98 to 93.3%. Protection on all 43 motors is IP55, frame sizes run from 80 to 180. Italy, and combinations of Poland with Italy, are recorded as manufacturing countries. Testing followed the 2019 GEMS determination and the older AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 standard, consistently with test method B; 7 of the 43 motors reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level, the remaining 36 stay unclassified.

Within Xylem, Lowara is one of the leading European brands for domestic water supply, circulation and process pumps; the pump-specific motor design, limited to two pole counts, clearly sets the range apart from the more broadly positioned standard-motor makers.

When buying used or replacing, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the tightness of the shaft seal towards the pump, the condition of fan cover and terminal box, and a legible nameplate with frame size and the E3 efficiency class; since some motors are sourced purely as a spare part for a specific Lowara pump, exact matching via the article number matters. Spares run through the Xylem/Lowara distribution network.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Lowara PLM4132B3/375 E3 have?

The Lowara PLM4132B3/375 E3 delivers 7.5 kW.

What to check before buying

  • Match the data plate against the order: frame size, mounting and rating have to agree.
  • Check the ingress rating against the installation site — outdoors or in dust the demands differ.
  • Hold the mounting form and dimensions against the existing seat before ordering.
  • The pole count sets the speed — when replacing an older unit, compare this first.
  • For used units, ask about winding condition and bearing play.
  • Ask about parts availability for this series — the running costs hang on it.
