Based on a new four phase transverse flux permanent magnet motor, the MATLAB/Simulink software platform and Simpower System toolbox were used to study the closed loop control system. Based on the traditional double closed loop speed regulating control, zero level was introduced into the hysteresis current control loop. The hysteresis loop was divided into upper loop and lower loop. The switching frequency and current THD were considered to determine the appropriate hysteresis loop width. The inverter control signal was obtained according to the comparison results of deviation current value and the hysteresis loop width. The running data of motor under various working conditions were obtained by simulation. The simulation results showed that the control method could effectively control the four phase transverse flux permanent magnet motor.
