To start with, let's get our concepts correct. The motor supply comes from the VFD, which in turn is connected to the power supply from a board (or LT side of transformer, in your case).
Supply(TRF) --> VFD --> Motor
First off lets assume your VFD type is less than or equal to this LT supply. (LT/HT for TRF is subjective, Lt can be 220V when HT is 460V, or 460V when HT is 1000V etc). But a 460V VFD will burn its fuses if connected to 1000V.
Anyway, if you connect the VFD to LT side, and the motor is HT (meaning it's rated for a heavy current like 32KV), the motor will try to pull more and more current to start from the VFD, ultimately exceeding the current setting of the VFD and it will trip with an Overload or Overcurrent (OH, OC) fault on its display. If the current is enough to start the motor, it will rotate, but with very less speed (like if the motor is not connected to any load).
Just as a matter of interest, if you connect the LT side of TRF to VFD, and HT side of TRF to motor, "nothing" will happen as there is no current source (both VFD and motor are current consuming equipments) :P
Motor --> TRF HT -- TRF LT --> VFD (LOL!)

how to increase senstivity of ct
generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
