A $$200$$ $$V,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ single-phase induction motor has the following connection diagram and winding orientations shown. $$MM'$$ is the axis of the main stator winding $$\left( {{M_1}{M_2}} \right)$$ and $$AA'$$ is that of the auxiliary winding $$\left( {{A_1}{A_2}} \right).$$ Directions of the winding axis indicate direction of flux when currents in the windings are in the directions shown. Parameters of each winding are indicated. When switch $$S$$ is closed, the motor

A $$400$$ $$V,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz$$, $$4$$ pole, $$1400$$ $$rpm$$, star connected squirrel cage induction motor has the following parameters referred to the stator:
$$R = 1.0\,\Omega ,{X_s} = X{'_r} = 1.5\,\Omega $$ Neglect stator resistance and core and rotational losses of the motor. The motor is controlled from a $$3$$-phase voltage source inverter with constant $$V/f$$ control. The stator line-to-line voltage $$(rms)$$ and frequency to obtain the maximum torque at starting will be:
