a problem with motor loads if refrigeration equipment is the start up. At 208, it can have difficlt time. The actual voltage from the POCO can make the difference. I had a local businessman running a 230 v freezer on a 208 service. the problem was they were so far from ther sub station, the actual voltage pending on the time of the day could low as 206. At that level it sounded horrible when it started, Athough the voltage was right at the 10% range, it is hard to spin a loaded rotor.
