Abstract: A cable connector assembly used for connecting exterior electrical cables to a motor housing has a hollow cap member with an opening through which the cable extends. A compressible retainer is compressed within the cap, around the cable and is held in place by a pressure member, which is held in place in the cap with a clip. The hollow interior of the cap may be filled with a sealant such as an epoxy in order to provide secondary sealing against moisture in addition to the compression of the retainer around the cable.

Abstract: A motor housing for an air-filled motor incorporates a closed loop system in a cylindrical shell member of the housing which includes a plurality of coolant lift passages and coolant return passages which extend longitudinally along a sidewall of the housing. The lift and return passages communicate with an annular circulation passage at the uppermost portion of the motor housing and at their opposite ends, the passages communicate with a coolant reservoir at high and low pressure regions thereof. An impeller attached to the motor driveshaft is disposed within the fluid reservoir and provides the circulating force necessary to circulate the coolant through the closed loop system.
