Disclosed is a synchronous reluctance motor. The synchronous reluctance motor includes: a stator core and a rotor core, where the stator core includes stator teeth, the rotor core includes a plurality of magnetic barrier groups arranged in a circumferential direction, each of the magnetic barrier groups includes a plurality of magnetic flux barriers arranged at intervals in a radial direction, a magnetic conduction channel is defined by every two adjacent magnetic flux barriers on a same pole, and a relationship between a quantity of the stator teeth Ns, a quantity of layers Bs of the magnetic flux barriers on each pole, and a quantity of rotor poles 2p is as follows: Ns/2p =Bs+1.
