power supply voltages effect temperatures because a lower voltage will cause the motor to draw higher current to deliver the same amount of horse power and the higher current means higher winding temperatures. A percentage of voltage drop yields about the same in increase of temp. Same with over voltage, can saturate the core rotor and overheat.
