In the past, 115VAC was considered to be the standard voltage for single phase electric....I'm sure you've seen. 120/230 VAC. In recent years, the Defacto number for standard household voltage is 120 VAC. Plus/minus 10% is also a standard for calculating high and low voltage. So a10% drop of 120 VAC comes out to be 108 Volts. A 10% drop of 115 Volts comes out to 103.5, round up to 104 Volts. Running equipment at less than rated voltage is going to cause harm to it, especially motors. Higher than rated voltage also can cause damage by eventually breaking down the insulation on the windings of a motor. Manufacturers design and build their equipment to operate within that +/- 10% window without damage, but if the voltage gets out of that 10% window, things start to deteriorate rather quickly.
