The invention discloses a modular electrically-excited doubly-salient motor which comprises a shell, stator iron cores, excitation windings, phase-A armature windings, phase-B armature windings, phase-C armature windings, a rotor iron core and a rotary shaft. The shell is made of non-magnetic-permeability materials, and the stator iron cores are fixed to the inner side of the shell; each of the 3X modular stator iron cores is provided with two protruded stator poles which are connected with each other by stator yokes, and the various stator iron cores are not in direct contact with one another; the 6X stator iron cores are peripherally uniformly distributed; 5X protruded rotor poles are uniformly distributed on the rotor iron core; the polar distance between every two corresponding stator poles on the same stator iron core is equal to the polar distance of every corresponding rotor poles; the corresponding excitation winding is wound on one of the stator poles of each stator iron core, the corresponding armature winding is wound on the other stator pole of each stator iron core, and the armature windings are divided into the phase-A armature windings, the phase-B armature windings and the phase-C armature windings according to difference of phases; the X is a positive integer. The modular electrically-excited doubly-salient motor has the advantages that magnetic circuits and circuits of three-phase windings of the modular electrically-excited doubly-salient motor are independent from one another, accordingly, faults can be constrained in one phase, influence of the faults on the other phases can be reduced, and the faults can be prevented from being propagated.
