An internal permanent magnet machine ("IPM machine") of the type used, for example, with traction motors and hybrid electric vehicles, includes a rotor with an additional air barrier provided above the first magnet barrier in the same rotor slot. Each magnet only fills a portion of each cavity, thereby defining the air barriers. The added air barrier above the permanent magnet of the first layer acts as a barrier to the first layer magnet and lowers the magnet flux.
