2.13 SALIENT-POLE MACHINES
The majority of electromechanical energy conversion devices used in
present-day applications are in the rotating electric machinery category with
symmetrical stator structure. From a broad geometric configuration point of
view, such machines can be classified as being either of the salient-pole type, as
this class is a simple extension of the discussion of the preceding section, or
round-rotor.
In a salient-pole machine, one member (the rotor in our discussion) has
protruding or salient poles and thus the air gap between stator and rotor is not
uniform, as shown in Figure 2.26. It is clear that results of Section 2.12 are
applicable here and we simply modify these results to conform with common
machine terminology, shown in Figure 2.26. Subscript 1 is replaced by s to
represent stator quantities and subscript 2 is replaced by r to represent rotor
quantities. Thus we rewrite Eq. (2.84) as

Similarly, Eq. (2.85) is rewritten as
