I have an 11 KW Toshiba inverter on my 7.5 Hp Sheldon 15" lathe. The VFD was made available for shipping cost only, so no particular reason to choose that amount of over-rating. It works great, and I can't see any limitations in its use. It doesn't get any fault conditions. I have installed braking resistors on it, and they do get warm with repeated start-stop operations.
