A compressor includes: a stator core including a plurality of teeth around which an aluminum winding wire is wound in a concentrated manner; a rotor core disposed on an inner diameter side of the stator core and including a plurality of magnet insertion holes; and a plurality of ferrite magnets inserted in the magnet insertion holes, in which when a width of a winding wire portion formed in each of the teeth is represented as A, a length in an axis direction of the stator core is represented as L, and the number of slots is represented as S, the stator core has a shape that satisfies a relation of 0.3<S×A÷L<2.2.

A mobile surface maintenance machine embodiment includes a mobile body, a solution tank for containing a cleaning fluid, wheels for supporting the mobile body, a maintenance tool(s), an output channel, an electric power source, a first electric motor, and a pressure washer. The pressure washer includes a spray wand, a pressure pump, and a second electric motor. The pressure pump is fluidly coupled to the spray wand and to the solution tank. The pressure pump is configured to pressurize the cleaning fluid supplied to the spray wand. The second electric motor is operatively coupled to and configured to drive the pressure pump. The second electric motor is configured to receive electric power from the electric power source and is commonly powered by the electric power source that provides power to the first electric motor. The second electric motor is separate from the first electric motor.

A fan heater (1) has a motor (M) with motor windings (W) and a rotor that is connected to a fan (V) for delivering ambient air at least partially along the motor windings (W). At least one motor winding is configured as a heater winding (HW) for generating a specific heat output or amount of heat as intended.

The pump has an electromagnet for reciprocating a piston, and a first casing member at least partially accommodating the piston and the electromagnet. The electromagnet has a stator core and coils wound around the stator core. The pump further includes a thermal protector disposed on the stator core. The thermal protector is held between the casing member and the stator core. When the thermal protector detects that the stator core has heated up above a predetermined temperature, the supply of electric power to the electromagnet is interrupted to stop the drive of the piston.
