To provide a rotor of a reluctance motor that can increase the generated torque, as compared with a conventional product.

On the rotor 11, flux paths 18 that become convex, going toward the center side of the rotor 11, are formed in plural lines in the radial direction, by forming a plurality of flux barriers 17 that become convex to the center side of the rotor 11 in the radial direction at plural portions in its circumferential direction at equal intervals. The flux barriers 17 are constituted of slits. The slits are formed by press work or laser processing in a state of a core sheet 12. The flux barriers 17 are formed, in such a way that the flux barrier 17s provided at the outermost side is formed to be wider than the neighboring inside flux barrier 17, and the second flux barrier 17 from the outside and inner ones are formed wider, the farther inside it is.
