Calculating Panel FLA: Use VFD input current or motor table FLA?

If the motor has the UL mark on the nameplate and the plate has a value for FLA, you can use that instead of the value from the table. The complication arises from running a motor on a different voltage/phase count than the drive. I'm fairly sure you can just convert P=IV to a different voltage and use sqrt(3) to convert single and dual phase and still use the motor FLA.
