The theory of transient operations of synchronous machines—the so called two-reaction theory—was developed during the years 1926–1938. Doherty, Nickle and Park made the first efforts to find a complete theory. The problem then was solved by Kron for a general rotating electrical machine. In this paper the two-axis-model-machine is described using a bond graph. An example is given in which state-space-equations and output-equations are derived from the bond graph. A power-conserving transformation between the electrical quantities of the armature windings of the model machine and those of the real three phase armature windings is developed. This transformation is shown as a displacement modulated transformer structure which is central to the bond graph model.
