Permanent magnet type electric rotating machine

Abstract

A permanent magnetic type electric rotating machine includes: a stator having armature winding arranged in several slots formed in a stator core; and a rotor having permanent magnets held in several permanent magnetic insertion holes formed in a rotor core, in which a peripheral surface of the rotor core is configured to be a combination of arcs around two points different from a center of the rotor core for each magnetic pole in such a manner that when an axis extending in a central direction of a magnetic pole of the rotor is a d axis, and an axis extending in a direction between magnetic poles that is offset from the central direction of the magnetic pole by 90 electrical degrees is a q axis, a radial distance from a center of the rotor core to a periphery of the rotor is reduced gradually from the d axis to the q axis.
