Abstract
A squirrel-cage rotor includes a rotor core formed having a plurality of slots, a plurality of conductor bars inserted into the slots respectively and made of copper or copper alloy, two conductor end rings joined to the plurality of conductor bars on both end faces of the rotor core and made of copper or copper alloy and a reinforcing-member end ring attached to at least one of the conductor end rings and made of material having a specific strength greater than that of either copper or copper alloy. The plurality of conductor bars are arranged so as to extend through the conductor end rings and the reinforcing-member end ring. Consequently, the rotor can be manufactured by any manufacturing method but die-casting. Further, the conductor end rings can be reinforced with an easily-obtainable material and additionally, the junction of conductor end rings can be easily viewed from an outside.
