A permanent magnet rotating electric machine that comprises 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. In this rotating electric machine, the permanent magnets are convex V-shaped or U-shaped with respect to a rotor axis. Moreover, nearly V-shaped recess portions, each of which is placed between adjacent poles, are formed in outer circumferential surface portions of the rotor core. Thus, torque caused by magnetic flux due to the magnets is increased, while armature reaction magnetic flux generated by an armature current is reduced. Consequently, q-axis inductance is reduced, so that armature current commutation is quickly achieved. Thus, the permanent magnet rotating electric machine using the stator employing concentrated windings and also using the magnet-embedded rotor is stably driven even when driven by a position sensorless inverter in the case of 120 degree energization.
