A rotary electric machine includes a frame; a stator whose stator-slot number Ns is 12; a rotor whose rotor-pole number Np is 8, the rotor being disposed inside the stator. The frame has a frame thickness T(theta) at mechanical angle theta, with respect to a reference line that connects the inner circumferential center of the frame with an arbitrary point, other than the center, around the center that is circularly expanded in a Fourier series. The difference between the stator-slot number Ns and the rotor-pole number Np is k (=|Ns-Np|). Stress-relieving spaces and are located in portions of the frame in an arrangement that does not have 90-degree mechanical angle rotational symmetry, in such a way that the sum P of inclusion ratios for the k-th component T<SUB>k </SUB>and the Np-th component T<SUB>Np</SUB>, which are the Fourier series expansion coefficients for the frame thickness T(theta) expressed by equation (2) <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="00001"> <MATH OVERFLOW="SCROLL"> <MTABLE> <MTR> <MTD> <MROW> <MROW> <MI>P</MI> <MO>=</MO> <MROW> <MROW> <MO>(</MO> <MROW> <MSUB> <MI>T</MI> <MI>k</MI> </MSUB> <MO>+</MO> <MSUB> <MI>T</MI> <MROW> <MI>N</MI> <MO></MO> <MSTYLE> <mspace width="0.3em" height="0.3ex"/> </MSTYLE> <MO></MO> <MI>p</MI> </MROW> </MSUB> </MROW> <MO>)</MO> </MROW> <MO>/</MO> <MROW> <MUNDEROVER> <MO>∑</MO> <MROW> <MI>n</MI> <MO>=</MO> <MN>0</MN> </MROW> <MI>∞</MI> </MUNDEROVER> <MO></MO> <MROW> <MSUB> <MI>T</MI> <MI>n</MI> </MSUB> <MO>x</MO> <MROW> <MN>100</MN> <MO></MO> <MROW> <MO>[</MO> <MI>%</MI> <MO>]</MO> </MROW> </MROW> </MROW> </MROW> </MROW> </MROW> <MO>,</MO> </MROW> </MTD> <MTD> <MROW> <MO>(</MO> <MN>2</MN> <MO>)</MO> </MROW> </MTD> </MTR> </MTABLE> </MATH> </MATHS> is less than 12%. According to this configuration, mechanical strength of the frame and its producibility are maintained, and cogging torque caused by magnetic-circuit distortion in an iron core generated due to the frame shape is also reduced.
