Does oil ever touch tha windings of a hermetic compressor?

In a hermetic compressor, oil is typically contained within the compressor unit and does not directly touch the windings. Instead, oil circulates with the refrigerant to lubricate moving parts, while the windings are insulated to prevent electrical contact. However, any leakage or malfunction could potentially lead to oil reaching the windings, which could cause insulation breakdown and failure. Proper maintenance helps mitigate these risks.
