Abstract
An electric motor having a cover which is removably mounted to an endshield of the motor and defines an enclosure for electronic components. The cover has an overlapping fit against a wall of the endshield to prevent entry of moisture or contaminants into the enclosure. The cover provides unhindered access to fasteners for connecting the motor to an adjacent part, such as a pump, so that the cover may remain mounted on the endshield while the motor is attached to the pump. Indentations in the cover are positioned at the fasteners, and corresponding recesses are provided in the wall of the endshield.
