q-axis components, both rotating with the rotor, but each with its own steady mag-
netic path. The d- and q-axis analysis is beyond the scope here, but the nal result,
which supports what we reasoned above, is given below:

d
and X
q
are the d- and q-axis synchronous reactance of the machine. For
the salient pole machines, the value of X

is always greater than that of X
q
. For a
cylindrical rotor machine, the magnetic circuits in d- and q-axes are identical, giving
