Abstract

To provide an indication motor rotor capable of improving motor performance by concentrating portions under magnetic saturation conditions of rotor teeth. The rotor 1 of an induction motor of this invention may include slots 3 formed approximately in the shape of a T. The slots 3 may be formed so that top slots 3 a are arranged on an outer peripheral portion of a rotor core 1 a , and bottom slots 3 b are arranged on an inner side of the top slots 3 a . The width in the circumferential direction of the top slot 3 a is wider than the width in the circumferential direction of the bottom slot 3 b , and the width in the circumferential direction of a rotor tooth 4 between adjacent top slots 3 a is narrower than the width in the circumferential direction of the rotor tooth 4 between adjacent bottom slots 3 b.
