This isn't a great idea. You likely could if you lowered the frequency to ~40hz (if made to run at 60hz), and cut the load on the motor down to 63% of its' rated hp. You want to keep the volts per hertz equal or near the nameplate values.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

No, that is not enough voltage to allow it to run properly.

It would turn without a load, but its performance would be poor, meaning it would not be able to turn much of a mechanical load.

If the voltage difference is less than 5% there should be no problem.
