1. An electric compressor comprising:
an electric motor including a stator core, a stator coil formed by winding a conducting wire around the stator core, a rotor attached to a rotating shaft, and an insulator for insulating the stator core and the stator coil, the electric motor being for rotating the rotating shaft via the rotor through energization of the stator coil;
a compression mechanism that is driven by the rotating shaft to compress a refrigerant;
a housing including an intake port and a discharge port, the housing being for housing the rotating shaft, the electric motor, and the compression mechanism, wherein
the electric compressor is configured such that the refrigerant drawn in by the intake port is compressed by the compression mechanism and is discharged from the discharge port, and
a protection member for covering a part, of the conducting wire, that faces the intake port is provided,
the protection member is provided on the insulator,
the insulator has a projecting portion to hook the conducting wire, and
the part is disposed between the projecting portion and the protection member.
