1. A synchronous electrical machine including a motor comprising:
a stator; and
at least one rotor having permanent magnets, wherein the motor is configured so as to have Xd>Xq, where Xd is the direct reactance and Xq is the quadrature reactance, wherein the rotor is a flux-concentrating rotor, the permanent magnets of the rotor being placed between pole pieces,
wherein each of the pole pieces of the rotor has a salient part extending toward the stator, having radial edges that are angularly offset relative to the radially directed edges of the permanent magnets adjacent the pole piece.
