Here, θib is an inner flux barrier angle of the permanent magnets 130, θob is an outer flux barrier angle of the permanent magnet 130, P is the number of magnetic poles of the rotor 120, and S is the number of slots 115 of the stator 110.
The inner flux barrier angle θib of the permanent magnet 130 refers to an angle between two straight lines connecting the closest ends of the two flux barriers 126 and 127 provided at both ends of the permanent magnet 130 to the center C of the rotor 120. In other words, in
