Abstract
An electric motor accommodated fixedly in position within its own casing or a housing of a compressor is provided with a non-conductive member between its stator and the casing or the housing, for preventing the stator and the casing or housing from making contact with each other. The non-conductive member is made of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the stator, such as resin.
