Abstract: A scroll compressor system for compressing a refrigerant, the scroll compressor comprising a single phase motor which includes a stator having a stator core that defines a plurality of slots positioned radially about an interior of the stator core and windings located within the plurality of slots. The windings including a main winding and a start winding and each of the main and start winding are formed from a conducting wire that includes aluminum. The compressor includes a rotor disposed concentrically within the stator, a drive shaft coupled to the rotor, and an orbital scroll member coupled to the drive shaft. The single phase motor, drive shaft, and orbital scroll member located with the shell.
