The relay thus protects the motor from possible damage if/when voltage is lost or reduced drastically. Is Undervoltage Bad for Electronics? While it might seem harmless at first, Undervoltage is quite harmful to electronic components and the motor as well. Although the motor might be able to start, it won’t work as efficiently and effectively as it is designed (due to altered voltage pulses), causing increased wear and tear.
