Inverters + Wiring Inductance = Voltage Spikes
It would be best to use an oscilloscope to look at the motor controller output, with the intended wiring, to ensure that you are not getting voltage spikes that go higher than the rated input voltage or go below zero volts.
In the past, I have used programmable DC power supplies that can simulate a brown out condition but they were pretty expensive.
The brown out test would be more repeatable if one used a MOSFET with a power resistor to add a momentary high-current load to your system. An oscilloscope would have to be used to measure the system voltage.
