Rotating electrical
machine (10) comprising a
stator (20) and a rotor (30), wherein the rotor (30) has a rotor core (31) having a plurality of
magnetic poles formed by inserting permanent magnets (321, 322A, 322B) into
magnet receiving holes (311, 312A, 312B) formed at regular intervals in a circumferential direction, and wherein, in the case where a
magnetic flux flowing along a d-axis corresponding to a direction of the center line of each magnetic pole is defined as a d-axis
magnetic flux, and a
magnetic flux flowing along a q-axis corresponding to a direction of the center line between the
magnetic poles is defined as a q-axis magnetic flux, wherein a line running midway between both ends of the respective
magnet receiving openings (311, 312A, 312B) is defined as an opening centerline (A1, A2, A3), and a
contour line (311a, 312Aa), (312Ba) along the circumferential direction of each
magnet receiving opening (311), (312A, 312B) in a cross section perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotor (30) is formed as a circular arc passing through three intersection points, wherein one of the intersection points is an intersection point (311a3, 312a3, 312a6) at which one of the magnetic
flux lines of the q-axis magnetic flux intersects with one of the opening centerlines (A1, A2, A3), and the other intersection points are the intersection points (311a1, 311a2; 312a1, 312a2; 312a4, 312a5) at which one of the magnetic
flux lines of the q-axis magnetic flux intersects the two ends of each magnet receiving opening (311, 312A, 312B), wherein the magnet accommodating hole comprises a plurality of magnet accommodating holes (311, 312A, 312B) formed along a radial direction of the rotor (30) such that the number of magnetic
flux lines of the q-axis magnetic flux, calculated when the magnet accommodating holes (311, 312A), (312B) are not formed in the rotor core (31), is the same among: a part between an outer
peripheral edge of the rotor core (31) and the magnet accommodating hole (311) formed on a radially outermost side; a part between a
contour line on a radially outer side and a
contour line on a radially inner side of each formed magnet accommodating hole; and a part between the magnet accommodating holes adjacent to each other in a radial direction.
