Abstract
A sealed compressor has an electric motor and a compressor pump unit to be driven by the electric motor. Power is supplied to the electric motor by a terminal plug received within a housing, which communicates electricity through an electric connection and into a shell housing the compressor. A cable is connected to the terminal plug at a location at least partially outwardly of the housing. The cable includes a ground wire and ground connector, which is connected to a ground pin associated with one of the housing and the shell. The cable has a head connected to connections associated with the housing. A shield extends over a ground connection between the cable and the ground pin. A cable and cable head as mentioned above are also disclosed and claimed.
