An auxiliary electromagnetic switch, operative to open or close the auxiliary contact, is fixedly mounted on at least one of a housing or an end frame of the motor via a mounting member in an area close proximity to the outer circumferential periphery of the motor. A main electromagnetic switch is fixedly mounted on the housing by means of a plurality of bolts in the area close proximity to an outer circumferential periphery of the motor.
