): Converts the stationary two-phase variables into a rotating reference frame ( ) that spins synchronously with the rotor.
: Jones uses these to convert the complex, time-varying equations of real machines (like a three-phase induction motor) into simpler, constant-coefficient equations in a stationary reference frame.
The most reliable way to access the book is through . Many university libraries hold physical copies of the original 1967/1968 edition. Examples from search results include:
Unlike many theoretical treatises that remain purely mathematical, Jones grounds his derivations in experimental reality. The book continuously supplies to confirm theoretical predictions. This commitment to empirical validation was noted approvingly by reviewers, who observed that “experimental confirmation, in fact justification, is continuously supplied” and that “the careful, convincing development of the Steinmetz equivalent circuit of the transformer, and the rather full coverage of the balanced normal steady‑state operation of synchronous machines, including saturation, are typical of the author’s thoroughness”.
Many "new" digital distributions or academic library prints include modern appendices, converting Jones' original notation into standard IEEE notations used today.
