A rotor core of a rotor includes a salient pole portion; air gap portions that extend from the permanent magnet to an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core; notch grooves formed such that the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core is notched; and a bridge portion that is formed between the outer peripheral surface and the air gap portions. The notch grooves are disposed such that the bridge portion is sandwiched between the notch grooves and the air gap portion, and, a notch minimum outside diameter portion in which a distance from the rotation center of the rotor core is the minimum is formed on a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis. The notch minimum outside diameter portion is located at a position closer to a center side of the salient pole portion than the air gap portions in the circumferential direction of the rotor.
