Its not so much that you will damage anything but your neighbor may get
****ed at his lights flickering. If the neighor is that old he'll
problaby think it was his eyes going bad.

The power company doesn't like sudden starts of motors or any load that
draws excessive current, especially if you are located on the end of the
supply line. It means that they have to upgrade their lines, and if
they know it's you doing it, you will learn about how a demand meter works.

That is another of the nice things about VFD's. They can start up a
motor slowly so no excessive current.
