Abstract

An air conditioner comprising a compressor including a compression unit and a permanent magnet rotating electric machine, wherein the permanent magnet rotating electric machine includes a stator, into which concentratively wound armature windings are inserted in such a way as to surround a plurality of teeth formed in a stator core, and a rotor having permanent magnets accommodated into a plurality of permanent magnet inserting holes formed in a rotor core. Each pair of adjacent ones of said permanent magnets is arranged generally in one of a convex V-shaped configuration and a convex U-shaped configuration with respect to a rotor axis, and a substantially V-shaped recess portion is formed between adjacent poles in outer circumferential surface portions of the rotor core.
