A reluctance motor has salient teeth on both the stator and the rotor. The reluctance motor includes electrical coils that are usable to generate magnetic flux to drive rotation of the rotor. Concentrated coil windings are wound around each stator tooth. The electrical coils are arranged across all the stator teeth of the reluctance motor to enable the reluctance motor to be driven by alternating current. The electrical coils are arranged so that, when excited with alternating current, the number of magnetic half-poles is equal to the number of teeth on the rotor. The reluctance machine can operate using an inverter instead of an asymmetric bridge.

On the peripheries of external side plates (23) and (23a) at diameters equal to the inner diameters of the carried pole configurations and axes coinciding with the axis of the shaft (1) stationary are fixed second magnetoconductive rings (26) and (26a) whose surfaces located on the side of the first magnetoconductive rings (17), (17a) are shaped like a groove whose shape corresponds to the shape of the profiled protruded outwards peripheral surface of the first magnetoconductive rings (17), (17a) comprising them with possibility for their free rotation in the corresponding groove.
