A motor includes a stator and a rotor provided inside the stator. The rotor includes a rotor core having a magnet insertion hole and two permanent magnets disposed in the magnet insertion hole. The rotor core has a first magnet holding portion disposed between the two permanent magnets and holding the two permanent magnets, an opening disposed on an inner side of the first magnet holding portion in a radial direction of the rotor core, and a center hole disposed at a center of the rotor core in the radial direction. A distance from the opening to the magnet insertion hole is shorter than a distance from the opening to the center hole.

Motor, rotor, compressor, and refrigeration and air conditioning apparatus

A motor includes a stator, a rotor including a rotor core having a magnet insertion hole, and a plurality of permanent magnets disposed in the magnet insertion hole of the rotor core and having two permanent magnets adjacent to each other. The rotor core has a first magnet holding portion in the magnet insertion hole, and a second magnet holding portion at an end of the magnet insertion hole in a circumferential direction. The rotor core has a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets stacked in an axial direction. Relationships A&#x3e;B and A&#x3e;C are satisfied, where a number of the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets is represented by A, a number of electromagnetic steel sheets having the first magnet holding portions is represented by B, and a number of electromagnetic steel sheets having the second magnet holding portions is represented by C.
