Application of network theory to the analysis of rotating machinery part II - Commutating machines

The procedure used in arriving at the differential equations of the commutating machine is identical to that used on the noncommutating machines discussed in reference 1. However, the techniques used in processing the resulting equations is somewhat different. In the study of commutating machines, two problems are of interest: 1. How can the machine be analyzed along with its associated network to determine the external characteristics? 2. Will the machine commutate satisfactorily under the conditions of operation?
