The limit on the mplitue equl V (the c-bu voltge) if the verge voltge vector lie long non-zero bic voltge vector. In between the bic vector, the limit on the verge voltge vector mplitue i tht it tip cn lie on the tright line hown in Fig. 7-7 forming hexgon (ee Problem 7-6). However, the mximum mplitue of the output voltge v houl be limite to the circle within the hexgon in Fig. 7-7 to prevent itortion in the reulting current. Thi cn be eily conclue from the fct tht in blnce inuoil tey tte, the voltge vector v rotte t the ynchronou pee with it contnt mplitue.
