You are correct on 98v being too low. for an AC rated at 115v you need a minimum of 104v or you will damage the AC and other applianes. We have both, PI50A & Hughes 50A.

This allows the autoformer to shape your electricity before the PI, which will then shut down your elec if it does not have at least 104v.
