Constructions of an electromechanical transducer for a switched reluctance motor (SRM) and the circuit of a transistor switch with a serial energy storage are considered. The electromechanical transducer with pseudo U-shaped stator core elements has rational (efficient) magnetic system, and applied circuit design for the electronic commutator of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) allows improving power characteristics.

A computer-aided design (CAD) software for designing switched reluctance motors (SRM) is described and the results of devising the switched motor for a wheel drive of a wheelchair using this system are shown.

The results of the numeric investigation of electromechanical processes in the electric drive of the chair motor-wheel are verified by the experimental investigations and indicate the adequacy of proposed mathematical models and expedience of applying the developed motor for the drive of the wheelchair.
