230 V is the standard nominal voltage in the UK. 'Nominal' means the 'stated' voltage, but this is allowed to vary, under government legislation, between +10% and -6%, which means it is allowed to drop to 216 V.
The motor's rated voltage of 208 V is also a nominal voltage, but is not a standard UK nominal voltage so, without knowing what in which country the motor is manufactured, we'll assume that it is allowed to vary between, say, +5% to -5%. This means that it can operate at voltages up to 218 V. If it's allowed to vary between, say, +10% and -10%, then it can be operated up to 229 V.
So there is an overlap between the nominal voltage of the supply and the rated nominal voltage of the motor so, in all likelihood, the motor should be able to run with a 230-V supply. On the other hand, there will be times when the supply voltage will exceed the upper limit of the motor's nominal voltage, and this may -over time- lead to a breakdown in its insulation and its ultimate failure.

Will a 208 volt 3 phase generator supply operate a 230 volt 3 phase motor?
Yes, but the motor's horsepower rating will not be reached.
Can a 220 volt 3 phase motor be connected to a 208 3phase curcit?
Yes.
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
Will 220 volt work in a high volt 3 phase motor?
Yes a 208 voltage motor will operate on 220 volts. You have to increase the motor overload protection by 10% of the motor's full load amperage to protect the motor.
How many amps does a 5 hp 208 volt 3 phase motor draw?
read the name plate on the motor
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?
Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.
What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
208 volts is not a common single phase voltage but you could just size your breaker to the capabilities of the conductor. 208 is normally a phase to phase voltage <<>> Many 230 volt motors can be connected to lower voltage supplies. These motors can be connected to supplies of 208 and 200 volts. The code requirement is that the 230 volt full load amperage of the motor be increased by 10% and 15% respectively for wire sizing and breaker selection. To answer the question you will need a two pole 15 amp breaker.
How is it possible that a chicken rotisserie that uses 208v 3 phase can have a motor that uses 208v?
Two scenarios are that the motor could be a three phase motor. These three phase motors are manufactured in smaller sizes. The other scenario is that the motor is a 208/220 volt single phase motor. It will operate on 208 volts by taking two legs of the three phase supply for its operation.
How many Amps for 3 horsepower at 208 volts?
For a single phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 18.7 amps. For a three phase 3 HP motor at 208 volts the amperage is 10.5 amps. This figure is derived at by taking the full load amps at 230 volts and adding 10%. As the voltage goes down the amperage goes up. For 200 volt motors 15% is added to the FLA of a 230 volt motor.
The power cable assembly connects to a power source?
208 volt, three phase
Can a standard 40 amp 208-240 volt single phase oven be wired to a 240 volt three phase circuit without using a transformer?
