GSM1 power requirements

i have worked with the universal gsm in the past and am now helping out a contracting company who is setting up one in their facility. My question is: the power requirments for the machine calls for 3-phase 230V, does it really need 230V or is the standard 208V ok, i have looked into transformers to bump the voltage a few volts but all the suppliers tell me that it is within normal voltage tolerances.

any feedback would be appreciated

Greetings,

The GSM1 does require 230v input. 208 or 220 will not meet the needs of the positioning system drive motors.
