  • Publication number: 20110114357
    Abstract: A protective cover arrangement (1) for a first electrical unit, e.g. a starter unit (3), mountable on a second electrical unit, e.g. a compressor (2). The protective cover arrangement (1) comprises an outer cover (5) and an inner cover (6). The outer cover (5) comprises mounting parts (8) adapted to cooperate with mounting parts (10) on the second electrical unit in order to mount the outer cover (5) on the second electrical unit. The inner cover (6) is sized and shaped to fit inside the outer cover (5), and it is adapted to accommodate a first electrical unit in an interior part (7). The inner cover (6) comprises an opening (12) allowing electrical connectors (4) to pass from the second electrical unit to the interior part (7), thereby providing electrical connection between the first electrical unit and the second electrical unit.

  • Publication number: 20100231155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a controller unit adapted to be releaseably attached to a corresponding terminal arranged on an exterior surface portion of a motor-driven compressor. The controller unit according to the present invention comprises an electrically isolating carrier member having one or more electrically conductive paths arranged thereon for transporting electrical power signals, the carrier member further having at least one thermally conductive path arranged thereon for transporting heat to a heat sensitive element of the controller unit in order to determine the temperature of the motor of the compressor. The present invention further relates to a method for carrying out the present invention.
