One thing to watch out for is the motor starter contactor chattering. This can burn the contacts out in short order.
On some contactors, you can jam them with a screwdriver, and force them to stay closed until the motor starts, instead of relying on the contactor coil to do the job under those 'brown-out' conditions.
