Reference Frame Theory

This book sets forth the work the author has done over the last sixty years in reference fame theory from the arbitrary reference frame, to the coining of the title of reference frame theory, to the recent establishing of the basis of reference frame theory. It begins with introduction to Tesla's rotating magnetic field that is then integrated into reference frame theory. The author moves on to describe the link between reference frame theory and symmetrical induction machines and synchronous machines. Subsequent chapters explore the field orientation of brushless dc drives and induction machine drives. The book concludes with an exploration of applications that utilize reference frame theory.
