There is a very strong correlation between current and load/torque. > ... > I am also very baffled why the same motor would trip out a 3hp VFD at > 12A and 1500 rpm but run at 3000 rpm at 3.5A with a 4hp VFD. Probably because of wrong parameters. Flux weakening by lowering voltage is possible, to move in the opposite direction by applying full voltage at lower than rated speed is possible but is probably not a very good idea.
