TERMINAL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR

摘要

A terminal device for an electric compressor has a partition wall and a terminal member for supplying electricity to an electric motor for driving a compression mechanism. The partition wall is located between an electric motor-storing section, which stores the electric motor and in which lubricating oil-containing fluid to be compressed is present, and a circuit section for supplying electricity to the electric motor. The terminal member extends through the partition wall in a sealed and insulated manner. An electricity conduction wire at an end of a lead wire for supplying electricity to the electric motor is directly connected to the end of the terminal member which is on the electric motor-storing section side. An insulation cover is provided so as to extend from the electric motor-storing section-side end of the terminal member to an insulation cover tube of the electricity conduction wire of the lead wire for supplying electricity to the electric motor. The terminal device can exhibit high insulation performance even if polyalkylene glycol-based oil is used as lubricating oil-containing fluid to be compressed. Further, the terminal device has a simple structure not requiring a cluster, can ensure high insulation performance, and can be constructed at low cost.
