I know that you shouldn't theoretically run a 208V motor on 230V, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually tried it. My 2 applications are not full hp continuous duty and I can put a temperature sensor on the motor to monitor the temperature. My motors are 3 phase and will be running off a rotary converter. One of my 208V motors is on a wood shaper and the other is on a metal cutting vertical band saw. If I burn up one of these motors, I just end up replacing it anyway, so not much to lose by trying.
