The spiral vector method was applied to analysis of the synchronous machine with saliency, to derive analytical solutions of electromagnetic transients of the machine by introducing the new idea of damped inductances. Sudden three phase short circuit currents were calculated with the solutions by making use of the measured inductances and they were compared with test result. Good agreement was obtained between the analysis and the test for the first time in the long history of the synchronous machinc.
