An electric compressor includes a housing, refrigerant inlet port, a refrigerant outlet port, an inverter section, a motor section, a compression device and a front cover. The housing defines an intake volume and a discharge volume. The refrigerant inlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to introduce the refrigerant to the intake volume. The compression device is a compression device configured to compress the refrigerant. The refrigerant outlet port is coupled to the housing and is configured to allow compressed refrigerant to exit the electric compressor from the discharge volume.

The present invention provides a geared motor in which a motor lead can be routed within a case to a position set apart from a motor, and a damper device. In the geared motor that is used in the damper device, the case is provided with a motor lead passage that extends in the Y-direction through a position flanked, in the Z-direction, by a side plate part of a case trunk part and the rotation axis of a driving gear that is included in a gear train. It is therefore possible, with the Z-direction positions of a plurality of motor leads being defined, to extend the motor leads in the Y-direction. The Z-direction dimension of the geared motor can then be reduced because the motor leads will then partially overlap the drive gear in the motor lead passage as viewed from the X-direction.

Provided is a stator for a rotary electric machine, capable of reducing a space on an end surface of a stator core on an inner diameter side to reduce a size in an axial direction to realize a compact size by maintaining an insulating distance corresponding to a potential difference. In the stator for a rotary electric machine according to the present invention, a coil portion includes a coil main-body portion (21) and a second connecting wire (23). The second connecting wire (23) includes a first bent portion (24) and a second connecting-wire end portion (23A). The second connecting wire (23) is configured so that a differential value of a length z in the axial direction of the stator to a length r in the radial direction of the stator is z/r0.

A rotating electric machine with a stator unit having a coil wound therearound includes a busbar unit assembled with the stator unit and having a winding end part of the coil connected thereto, and a thermistor for detecting a temperature of the coil. The busbar unit includes a fixing portion for pressing and fixing the thermistor to the coil.

A terminal assembly of an electric machine includes an electric machine housing including a terminal opening defined in the electric machine housing. A conductive terminal extends through the terminal opening, from an inside of the electric machine housing to an outside of the electric machine housing. An insulator is located at the terminal. The insulator is positioned between the terminal and a housing wall of the terminal opening. The insulator is sized and configured for installation into the terminal opening after installation of the terminal in the terminal opening.

A stator for an electric machine may include a ring-shaped stator body defining a longitudinal centre axis, a plurality of electrically conductive stator windings fixed radially internally on the stator body with respect to the longitudinal centre axis, and a plurality of radial cooling apertures through which coolant is flowable. The stator windings may be encased by a plastic injection moulded body. The stator windings may project on both sides with respect to the longitudinal centre axis axially beyond the stator body such that the stator body is flanked axially on a first side by a ring-shaped first axial overhang and on a second side by a ring-shaped second axial overhang. The cooling apertures may penetrate at least one of the first axial overhang and the second axial overhang.
