The compressor has a motor; a compressor mechanism driven by the motor; a first housing section having an opening and within which the motor is housed; a second housing section which is mounted on the first housing section and which closes the opening; a fixing member which fixes the second housing section to the first housing section; a controller which is provided on the first housing section and which controls the operation of the motor; a power supply section which supplies power to the controller; a protective cover which covers the controller; and a power source control apparatus which stops the supply of power to the controller by the power supply section or carries out a prescribed safety measure operation when the protective cover is removed from the controller. The protective cover has a shape which restricts manipulation of the fixing member by covering a manipulation section of the fixing member when the controller is covered.
