Abstract: The present invention relates to an outer-rotator-type switched reluctance motor that may provide a shortest magnetic path by configuring a magnetic circuit in stator salient poles and rotor salient poles with circumferential-directional slots formed in the stator salient poles and coils passing through the slots and wound along he circumferential direction of the stator core, may thus minimize magnetic loss in the cores to maximize use efficiency of magnetic energy, and may provide a sturdy structure while simplifying coil winding work.
