The invention relates to a device for driving a compressor of a vaporous fluid, particularly an electric motor. The device has a rotor and a stator, which are extended along a common longitudinal axis, as well as an insulation element. The insulation element is designed as a single part and connected with a stator core of the stator in a form-fitting manner such that the stator core and the insulation element form an integral and single-part component of the stator. The invention further relates to a method for producing a stator of the device, particularly the stator core with the insulation element.
