Abstract: A decrease of inductance in a carrier frequency region being used is suppressed by connecting reactors capable of maintaining a fluctuation range of inductance within a predetermined range in the carrier frequency region in series to and between an inverter device converting electric power of an energy storage device and an electric motor. Consequently, the electric motor is controlled while an iron loss and an electromagnetic noise are reduced independently of characteristics of an iron material and a magnetic steel sheet material used as a core material of the electric motor.

Abstract: Provided is a permanent magnet type motor including: a rotor including a rotor core and a plurality of permanent magnets; a conducting circuit including a first electric conductor extending in an axial direction of the rotor and being disposed between permanent magnets in a circumferential direction of the rotor and a second electric conductor for connecting the first electric conductors electrically; and a stator disposed so as to be opposed to the rotor, including a stator core and an armature winding. A rotation angle is detected by measuring current flowing in the armature winding. The stator core is formed to have a shape in which, a slot pitch is defined by ?s=(2×?×Rs)/Ns, where an inner radius of the stator is represented by Rs and a number of slots is represented by Ns, a value Wsn obtained by dividing a slot opening width Ws by the slot pitch ?s satisfies “0.08?Wsn”.

Abstract: It is an objective to provide a permanent magnet synchronous motor that is highly efficient with low vibration and low noise. A stator 30 includes a stator core 1 that includes magnetic pole teeth 2 each formed between adjacent slots 3, and stator windings 4 that are provided in the slots 3 of the stator core 1. A rotor 40 includes a rotor core 5, a plurality of magnet retaining holes 8, permanent magnets 7 inserted in the magnet retaining holes 8, and a plurality of slits 6 in the rotor core 5 on an outer circumferential side of the magnet retaining holes 8. Among the slits 6, slits 6 in a vicinity of a magnetic pole center of the rotor core 5 are oriented in a direction where a magnetic flux generated by a permanent magnet 7 converges outside the rotor core 5, whereas slits 6 in a vicinity of a pole border portion of the rotor core 5 are oriented in another direction that is different from the direction of the plurality of slits 6 in the vicinity of the magnetic pole center of the rotor core 5.
