Is that 16 amp figure from taking an amp reading with a meter?
From an NEC perspective you must use the nameplate info for determining the wire size.
At least the HP and Voltage so you could use the tables in the back of 430.
208/230 would be one or the other voltage.
208-230 would be any voltage between them.
Yes on 10% but that is the extreme, you would do well to try to keep the voltage within 3%.
