Single Phase or 1ph is typically what you would find in a residential dwelling or light commercial setting. 120 / 240 volts are single phase 120/208 can be single phase as well.

Three Phase or 3ph is typically what you would find in a heavy commercial or industrial enviroment. 277 / 480 volts

in 1ph L-1 to N or G= 120v L-1 to L-2= 240v

in 3ph L-1 to N or G= 277v L-1 to L-2= 480v, L-2 to L-3= 480v or

L-3 to L-1=480v

If you were to look at Phase power it would be

1ph 3ph

L-1 L-2 N G OR L-1 L-2 L-3 N G

L= Line

N= Neutral

G= Ground

How do you change generator output electrical connections from 460v 3phase plus N to 220v 3phase plus N?

The terminology for the type of connections you describe is, three phase four wire. These changes are made in the generators junction box. In this junction box you will find a series of taps that can be re configured to change the many voltages that the generator can produce.

Can a 600 volt 3phase electric motor run on 1phase?

Yes it can run when single phasing in a delta configuration but the motor will not start from a dead stop. There will be quite a bit of degradation in its operation from its nameplate data.
