Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.
There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.
However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.

Can a standard 40 amp 208-240 volt single phase oven be wired to a 240 volt three phase circuit without using a transformer?

How many amps is 6kW 240 volt single phase?
The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.
Can 1 phase be used with 3 phase?
If you have a 208Y/120 volt 3 phase system, you can use any one of the three phases (hot or ungrounded conductor) with the neutral for 120 volt load or you can use any two phases of the three phase for a single phase 208 volt load. If you have a 120/240 volt 3 phase system, you can use any two phases of the three phase for a single phase 240 volt load or you can use either the A phase or C phase with the neutral for a 120 volt load. You can not use the B phase with a neutral (you would have 208 Volts!).
Why there is different types of voltage range 210 Volt 220 Volt 230 Volt 240 Volt 250 Volt in single phase AC system and what it based?
In the US the voltage is about 220 volts. This voltage is based upon the average voltage of the AC sine wave. It can peak as high as 240 volts or as low as 210 volts. So these different voltages are actually referring to an average 220 volt system.
If building is serviced with 480 volts and you put a meter between ground and hot what will be the reading?
For alternating current, and assuming the supply transformer is properly grounded, you will have 240 volts to ground. 480 volts; single phase will have Line1 and Line2, both with 240 to ground and 480 across both Lines : three phase will have Line1, Line2, and Line3, all will have 240 to ground, and 480 across any two Lines. Same is true for 240 volt service, 120 to ground and 240 across. 120 volt service is 240 volt service using ground as neutral.
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no
In a 240 volt single phase circuit A phase is 4000 watts B phase is 7000 watts what is the neutral load?
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
What transformer do you need if you have primary voltage of 600 3 phase and require 240 volt 1 phase?
A single phase 600 to 240 Volt transformer using two phases of the three phase primary.
Can you run a 208 volt single-phase computer off 240 volt power?
No. The 1-phase 240 setting on your computer's power supply is for the 240V wall outlets in other countries. The 240 outlets in your home are 2-phase 240.

Does a 2 horsepower rotary converter plug into 120 single phase and convert it to plug in a 3 phase outlet?
All my experience with rotary phase converters have been in converting 240 volt single phase into 240 volt three phase. They all were hard wired into their respective systems, so my answer is no.
What is the voltage for a single phase from a 415 volt 3 phase and neutral supply?
240V. 415 / 1.73 = 240
How many amps will a 240 volt single phase 15 kva generator supply?
62.5 amps
How can you get a 240V single-phase power from a 120V 3-phase service?
First of all there is no common three phase 120 volt service. There is in North America a three wire 120/240 volt single phase service. That being said, if you want to change a 120 volt source to 240 volts it must be done with a transformer. Its classification is a step up transformer. The primary side of the transformer H1 - H2 will be connected to the 120 volts. The secondary side of the transformer X1 - X2 will be connected to the 240 volt load. The transformer is sized by the current required by the 240 volt load.
How many amps is 6kW 240 volt single phase?
The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts. There are 6000 watts in 6kW.
What may happen if you accidentally select the 10 volt d c range on an analog meter when testing a single phase supply?
If by single phase, you mean 120/240 AC; it could blowup in your hand!
Why would a generator put out 240 volt single phase?
For a home generator, to supply voltage for devices that require 220 V or 240 V. An electric oven or clothes dryer are examples of such devices. The generator at the power plant actually generates electricity at a much higher voltage, for easier transmission (and those are 3-phase generators). Also most homes run on 240 single phase. Power is split at the breaker box. To supply 120 loads and 240 loads. 240 single phase is a common voltage.
