Abstract: A motor includes a stator core and windings extending through the stator core. The windings include end turns extending from the stator core that form a coil. A protector is electrically connected to the windings and is positioned adjacent the coil. A bracket is sized and shaped to receive the protector, and includes a spacer in contact with the protector and with the coil. The protector is spaced from the coil by the spacer to reduce heat transfer from the windings to the protector.

Abstract: A three-phase, multi-speed electric induction motor assembly is configured to include a controller to change motor speeds. The motor assembly includes a stator core assembly, a pair of main winding coil groups corresponding with each phase, and a pair of selectable extra winding coil groups corresponding with each phase. During the lower-speed operation, the controller connects a first set of three leads to a power source such that only the main coil groups are energized. During the higher-speed operation, the controller connects a second set of three leads to the power source such that both the main coil groups and the selectable extra coil groups are energized.

Abstract: A six lead, two speed, consequent wound, single phase induction motor with a tapped auxiliary winding having a 2-pole high speed mode and 4-pole low speed mode. A portion of the auxiliary winding is connected in series with the four pole main winding. The 4-pole low speed mode has an efficiency of over 80%.

Abstract: A scroll compressor is more economically constructed and operated. The scroll compressor includes an orbiting scroll member, a non-orbiting scroll member, and a single phase electric motor, the single phase electric motor further includes a rotor, a stator having a plurality of slots, the stator being mounted concentrically with the rotor, an aluminum start winding that is wound within a portion of the slots distal from the rotor, a copper main winding that is wound with a portion of the slots between the aluminum start winding and the rotor, and a drive shaft coupled to the rotor, the drive shaft being configured to couple to the orbiting scroll member of a scroll compressor to cause the orbiting scroll member to orbit the non-orbiting scroll member.
