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:

A $$3$$-phase, $$440$$ $$V,$$ $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ $$4$$ pole, slip ring induction motor is feed from the rotor side through an auto transformer and the stator is connected to a variable resistance as shown in the figure.
The motor is coupled to a $$220$$ $$V$$, separately excited $$d.c.$$ generator feeding power to fixed resistance of $$10\Omega .$$ Two watt-meter method is used to measure the input power to induction motor. The variable resistance is adjusted such that motor recorded
$${W_1} = 1800\,W,\,\,{W_2} = - 200\,W.$$
Neglecting all losses of both the machines, the $$dc$$ generator power output and the current through resistance $$\left( {{R_{ex}}} \right)$$ will respectively be
