The parameters of a three-phase, 50 Hz, 6-pole, 400 V star connected induction motor are r1 = 0.3 ohm, x1 = 0.5 ohm, r’2 = 0.15 ohm and x’2 = 0.2 ohm. The voltage and frequency of the induction motor is controlled by a power electronic converter (inverter). Calculate the required inverter output frequency and voltage to drive the induction motor load at 0.2 the rated speed of the motor and calculate the current drawn by the motor for that case. The formula for the maximum slip is given below:
