  • Patent number: 11264848
    Abstract: A rotor core has first and second magnet insertion holes along an outer circumference, and first and second slits along an inner circumference. The first and second slits have first and second facing portions facing each other. The first facing portion has a first inner end and a first outer end. The second facing portion has a second inner end and a second outer end. An inter-slit portion is provided between the first and second facing portions and is defined by a first straight line connecting the first and second inner ends and a second straight line connecting the first and second outer ends.

  • Patent number: 11155730
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solvent-free varnish composition, including: a thermosetting resin (A) having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups in a molecule thereof; a thermosetting resin (B) having one or more epoxy groups in a molecule thereof; a monofunctional vinyl-based monomer having an ether bond or an ester bond; an organic peroxide having a 10-hour half-life temperature of 40° C. or more; and a curing catalyst for an epoxy resin, in which a mixed resin of the thermosetting resin (A) and the thermosetting resin (B) has an epoxy equivalent of from 500 to 5,000. The solvent-free varnish composition can be used as an insulating varnish that shows a small energy loss and requires a short curing time in its curing treatment step, and that provides a cured product that barely causes the precipitation of an oligomer or the like even when exposed to a refrigerant-based environment containing a refrigerant and a refrigerating machine oil under high temperature and high pressure.
