    Some appliances can run at reduced voltage, particularly resistance type units but motors don't like reduced voltage. Motor shouldn't be subjected to more than a 5% drop. Motor heats up and the thermal overload shuts it off. Does it restart when it cools down? Max VAC would be 125-130. My house typically runs 122-124VAC.
