Synchronous reluctance motor

A synchronous reluctance motor contributes to simplifying the assembly of a magnet in a magnetic barrier, reducing torque ripples, and improving output torque. In the synchronous reluctance motor, a plurality of magnetic barrier parts of each magnetic barrier part group of a rotor iron core respectively have a shape which protrudes towards the radial inner side and is symmetrical about a q axis. A portion closer to one side in the circumferential direction than the q-axis includes a first portion extending perpendicular to the q-axis and a second portion extending further toward one side in the circumferential direction and radially outward from one side in the circumferential direction of the first portion, and the radial dimensions of the first portions of the plurality of magnetic barrier portions of each magnetic barrier portion group are the same. The circumferential dimensions of the first portions of the magnetic barriers other than the radially outermost magnetic barrier are the same as each other, an
