: An introductory account of the tensor notation and transformation laws used throughout the book.
Electrical machines are a crucial part of modern industry, used in a wide range of applications, from household appliances to industrial drives. The design and operation of these machines require a deep understanding of their underlying principles and behavior. Over the years, various theories and models have been developed to describe the behavior of electrical machines, but these have often been limited to specific types of machines. The unified theory of electrical machines, developed by C.V. Jones, provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to understanding the behavior of all types of electrical machines.
Even in the age of AI and advanced software like MATLAB/Simulink, the "Jones' Unified Theory" remains the core logic behind the code. When a modern electric vehicle controller calculates the torque needed in milliseconds, it is using the very transformations popularized in this book.
