Original Abstract Submitted

A motor includes a rotor and a stator, in which the rotor includes: a rotor core including a plurality of core portions disposed on a rotation shaft along an axial direction of the rotor, wherein the rotor core includes a core flow path through which a cooling fluid passes through each core portion; and a cooling plate which is inserted between the two divided core portions so that both surfaces are joined to the two neighboring core portions, and a distribution flow path that distributes the cooling fluid supplied from a cooling flow path of the rotation shaft into the core flow path of the two neighboring core portions is provided between at least one of the two neighboring core portions and the cooling plate.
