Abstract: In a rotor in which magnet slots arranged in a V shape so as to open toward the outer circumferential side and having permanent magnets inserted therein are formed in a two-layer structure in a radial direction, the magnet slots in each layer are composed of a pair of slots formed between a center bridge located at the center and respective ones of two radially-outer bridges located between the outer surface of the rotor and the respective slots. Of magnetic fluxes generated from the permanent magnets, magnetic fluxes excluding magnetic fluxes for magnetically saturating the bridges are defined as effective magnetic fluxes. The rotor is configured such that the effective magnetic flux generated from the permanent magnet on the radially outer side is not greater than half the effective magnetic flux generated from the permanent magnet on the radially inner side.

Abstract: An electric motor and winding method that improves its characteristics of torque and speed. An improved electric motor that provides higher power density and safety features by a novel winding architecture. Since the new winding architecture does not affect the measures, design or materials of the electric motor there is no need for any special manufacturing process or extra cost. Therefore the improved electric motors are smaller, lighter and cheaper than the same power size conventional electric motors as in other prior arts. The improved electric motor provides redundancy features against failure.

The insulating member is compressed while being heated to a temperature higher than or equal to a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin fiber, so that the insulating member is thermocompression-bonded to the magnet body in a state in which the inorganic fiber is elastically compressed.
