Synchronous reluctance type rotary electric machine

Abstract

A synchronous reluctance type rotary electric machine of an embodiment has a rotor core. The rotor core includes a plurality of poles, multi-layered hollow parts having a convex shape toward a side radially inward formed for each pole in cross section, and a bridge formed between each of the hollow parts and an outer circumferential surface thereof. When a boundary between two adjacent poles is a pole boundary, a groove is formed on at least one of both sides sandwiching the pole boundary at positions other than on the pole boundary on the outer circumferential surface of the rotor core.
