Hi 
I hope you get an expert, but here is what I understand.  Of course if the grid goes to zero it is easy to break under voltage.  But if the grid has a motor particularly a synchronous motor, it can generate a sine wave, so the inverter always trys to increase the speed or frequency of the sine wave if it can, or speed up the motor it drives out of the frequency range and shuts down.  also the inverter tries to raise the voltage if it can it shuts down. So the inverter is always trying to raise voltage or increase frequency, if it can it shuts down.   Also in the motor case if the inverter cannot supply enougn power the motor will slow down and the inverter quits suts down.
