MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF MOTOR PROTECTOR FOR COMPRESSOR

PURPOSE:To simplify the operability of a motor protector for a compressor by holding the protector by fittings provided at a position near the sealed terminal of the inner wall of a sealed vessel to simplify the mounting structure of the protector. CONSTITUTION:In a sealed compressor, a motor protector 4 is held by fittings 13 secured to a sealed vessel 3, and the fittings 13 are provided near a sealed terminal 6 secured to the vessel 3. A motor-driven compressor 1 is set in the vessel 3 at the time of incorporating the compressor, the protector 4 is secured to the fittings 13 secured to the vessel 3, and leads 11 are connected at one end to a pin terminal 10 and at the other to lead wires 8. The other two wires 8 are connected through a pin insertion terminal 12 to the other two terminals 10 respectively. Thus, the protector 4 can be so held to the metal fittings 13 of the vessel 3 so that its long axis becomes substantially parallel to the vessel 3, thereby facilitating the attachment and the detachment of the protector and simplifying the operation.
