From the Preface to the Third Edition: "[A]pproaches to the theories of some of the machines have been modified. [There are] significant changes in the more detailed developments of equivalent circuits, vector diagrams, methods of calculating the cross-axis voltages of synchronous machines, and the equations describing the oscillations of synchronous motors. additional material has been added in [the cross-field theory section] to clarify the polarities of the transformer and speed voltages. Additional material is provided on adjustable-speed drives, rectifiers, and self-synchronous machines. Methods of determining the constants of synchronous machines have been added. The nature of short-circuit currents in alternators has been explained on the basis of the constant flux-linkage concept.". Third Edition, Revised and Enlarged. Hardcover.
