ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF MOTOR PROTECTOR IN COMPRESSOR

PURPOSE:To easily mount a motor protector and improve the reliability of the operation of a closed type compressor by a sticking and holding a motor protector to the internal fixture of a closed terminal which is stuck to the closed housing of the compressor. CONSTITUTION:A motor protector 4 which is equipped for a closed type compressor acts as a sensor which operates on both electric current and temperature to protect a motor 2 used as the driving source of a motored compressor 1 housed in a closed housing 3 from heat. In this case, the motor protector 4 which consists of a glass case is held by an approximately U-shaped fixture 13 attached to a closed terminal 6 which is stuck to the closed housing 3, and wired between the outlet 8 from the wound wire end 5 of a motor 2 and the pin terminal 10 of the closed terminal 6. One terminal of a lead wire 11 drawn from the protector 4 is connected to the pin terminal 10 and the opposing terminal is connected to the outlet wire 8. The fixture 13 is mounted in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the protector 4 is approximately at right angles with the pin terminal 10.
