Abstract:
A reluctance type rotating machine comprising:a stator having armature windings; a rotor having a rotor core, the rotor being provided, in a circumferential direction thereof, with alternating magnetic poles and interpoles in the rotor core; a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in the rotor core in the circumferential direction of the rotor, for negating armature flux passing between adjoining poles defined in the rotor; and a conductor arranged in a peripheral portion of the rotor core; wherein the conductor comprises a plurality of magnetic bars which are embedded in the vicinity of an outer face of each pole of the rotor core so as to extend in the axial direction of the rotor and a plurality of non-magnetic bars which are embedded in the vicinity of an outer face of each interpole of the rotor core so as to extend in the axial direction of the rotor.
