    Copper, iron, aluminium, plastic, laquer. Same as normal motor except possibly rated for higher temperatures and solvent effects of refrigerants.

    Have a look on youtube if you want to see one cut open, check out Aussie50 channel.

    Windings = lacquered copper
    Motor block = pack of steel plates
    Rotor = pack of steel plates, with aluminum edges
    Statoric grooves = wrapped with polycarbonate or other insulating film.
