Answer Posted / dhaval

as core loss depend on applied voltage and copper loss
depend upon the applied current so the transformer is
rating in kva not in kw

Is a contactor (or master relay) required between incoming lines and a VFD? The question goes to safety. If a contactor were used before the VFD and an e-stop engaged then the motor will coast to a stop (i.e. VFD loses power) instead of stopping much faster if the VFD braking fucntion were used. It would make more sense to keep power on the VFD.
