A motor includes a protector electrically connected to the windings and positioned on the coil. A rigid bracket is sized and shaped to receive the protector. A fastening system extends over the coil, bracket and the protector and compresses the bracket against the coil. The bracket inhibits transmission of the compressive force of the fastening system to the protector and thereby shields the protector from damaging force. In another configuration, a sleeve receives the protector, and the fastening system extends only over the sleeve rather than over the protector.

Protector mounting apparatus for protector mounted on the windings of a motor

A dynamoelectric machine in the form of an electric motor which can be easily converted between normal motor operation and remote actuation through a simple conversion device. The conversion device includes a remotely located on/off actuator for operating a switch attached to the motor. The switch is mounted to the motor through a simple bracket arrangement, and jumper wires are used to permit the switch element is be interposed in the electrical circuit of the motor without special tools by regular field personnel.
