The outer flux barrier angle θob of the permanent magnet 30 is an angle between two straight lines connecting the farthest ends of the two flux barriers 25 and 28 provided at both ends of the permanent magnet 30 to the center C of the rotor 20. In other words, in FIG. 3, the outer flux barrier angle θob of the permanent magnet 30 refers to an angle between a first straight line L3 connecting the center C of the rotor 20 and the left end of the left flux barrier 25 provided at the first end 31 of the permanent magnet 30 and a second straight line L4 connecting the center C of the rotor 20 and the right end of the right flux barrier 28 provided at the second end 32 of the permanent magnet 30.
