A cooling system cools an electric machine including a casing, a rotor rotatably supported by the casing, and a stator fixed to the casing. The cooling system includes a flow circuit that brings a cooling liquid into contact with active parts of the electric machine. A main reservoir is provided in a lower portion of the casing. A pump injects the cooling liquid into the flow circuit. The level of cooling liquid in the casing interfaces with a lower portion of the rotor when the pump stops. A controller controls the pump to stop the pump when a temperature of the cooling liquid is below a given threshold, and start the pump as soon as the temperature of the liquid reaches the threshold such that the liquid is drawn by the main reservoir pump towards a secondary reservoir to lower the level of cooling liquid in the casing.

An electric machine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, an electric machine including a rotor having a sleeve radially outside a permanent magnet. Further, the sleeve includes at least one magnetic arc segment and at least one non-magnetic arc segment.

An annular core piece in which an annular core piece can be received inside a contour of an outer circumstance of the annular core piece and the number of recesses formed on the outer circumstance is small is provided. In an annular core piece including a plurality of recesses opened in an outer circumferential part, the recess includes a narrowed part and a raised part, and a transverse width of the narrowed part is made narrower than a transverse width of a different region present on a side of a bottom of the recess further beyond the narrowed part, and the raised part is formed such that a part of the bottom of the recess is raised and projected toward an opening end of the recess.

A rotary electric machine for use with coolant includes a stator and rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor, rotor shaft, and first and second end rings. The rotor has inner and outer diameter surfaces and an embedded set of rotor magnets proximate the outer diameter surface. The shaft is connected to the rotor and defines a main coolant passage along an axis of rotation. Radial shaft coolant passages are in fluid communication with the main coolant passage. The end rings are positioned at opposing distal ends of the rotor. The shaft coolant passages direct the coolant into the rotor and/or the end rings such that the coolant flows axially through rotor cavities of the rotor and cools the rotor magnets via forced convection.

A connection portion (first connection portion 462F) as a part for connecting a side surface (first side surface 462D) of the protrusion 462B at an upstream side in a rotating direction of the rotor 440 and an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 462A has a rounded shape. A connection portion (second connection portion 462G) as a part for connecting a side surface (second side surface 462E) of the protrusion 462B at a downstream side in the rotating direction of the rotor 440 and the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 462A has a rounded shape. A radius r1 of the rounded shape of the first connection portion 462F is greater than a radius r2 of the rounded shape of the second connection portion 462G.
