Rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine, comprising:

• a rotor;
• and
• a stator provided on an outer side with respect to the rotor in a radial direction of the rotor,
• wherein the rotor includes:
• a rotor core having a magnet insertion hole group including a plurality of magnet insertion holes;
• and
• a permanent magnet group including a plurality of permanent magnets inserted in the plurality of magnet insertion holes of the magnet insertion hole group, respectively,
• wherein the plurality of magnet insertion holes of the magnet insertion hole group are arranged side by side in a shape convex toward a center of the rotor from a radially-outer side surface of the rotor core,
• wherein the permanent magnet group forms one magnetic pole,
• wherein, in a part of the rotor core between the radially-outer side surface of the rotor core and the magnet insertion hole group, a magnetic slit is formed to extend in a shape convex toward the center of the rotor from the radially-outer side surface of the rotor core, and
• wherein the magnet insertion hole group includes three or more magnet insertion holes.
