  Switched reluctance (SR) motors have a simple and robust structure, and low cost. However, torque and efficiency of conventional SR motors are lower than those of rare-earth permanent magnet motors. To improve the disadvantages, several kinds of special-structured SR motors, including axial-gap-type and permanent-magnet-assisted-type, have been proposed. This paper investigates a transverse-flux-type SR motor (TFSRM). The TFSRM is designed by using a finite element method (FEM), and the prototype tests are carried out. In addition, further improvement of the performance of TFSRM is discussed based on the prototype tests results.
