Motors are designed to operate within the following limits at the
motor terminals:
1
AC power is within +/ 10 % of rated voltage with rated
frequency applied. (Verify with nameplate ratings) $
2
AC power is within +/ 5% of rated frequency with rated voltage
$
3
A combined variation in voltage and frequency of +/ 10% (sum
of absolute values) of rated values, provided the frequency variation
does not exceed +/ 5% of rated frequency.

For 3 phase motors the line to line full load voltage must be
balanced within 1%.

If the motor is rated 208 230V, the voltage deviations must be
calculated from 230V.

For general information on grounding (USA) refer to NEC Article 250.
Improper grounding of an inverter fed motor may result in frame
voltages in excess of 500 Volts. In making the ground connection,
the installer must make certain that a good electrical connection is
obtained between motor and grounding lead. Failure to properly
ground motors, per the applicable national code (such as NEC Article
430) and local codes may cause serious injury or death to personnel.
