IF YOUR MOTOR HAS 6 LEADS (IN THE TERMINAL BOX) OR 9 OR 12 LEADS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IF IT IS A BRAND NEW MOTOR THE WINDING CONNECTION DIAGRAM IS NORMALLY INCLUDED IN THE NAMEPLATE OR INSIDE THE TERMNAL BOX - T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6 OR U,V,W,X,Y,Z MARKINGS. DUAL VOLTAGE APPLICATION IS A NORMAL OPTION FOR MOTORS. IN THIS CASE CONNECT IT IN WYE (SOME CALLED IT STAR) CONNECTION BY CONNECTING OR COMBINING T4,T5,T6 AS COMMON OR NEUTRAL THEN APPLY 230V 3 PHASE POWER SUPPLY AND CHECK DESIRED ROTATION OR ELSE JUST INTERCHANGE ANY TWO SUPPLY LINE TO CORRECT ROTATION.
AnswerJudging from the values of voltage that you quote, you appear to be referring to the UK supply system. In that case, a three-phase supply has a line voltage of 415 V and a phase voltage of 240 V. So you can simply connect the machine's controller directly to the three line conductors. (These days, the nominal voltage for UK supply is now 400/230 V although, in practise, it is still 415/240 V).
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by referring to your course materials.
It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone else to ask for the answer.

You can not run a three phase motor on single phase Source. You can use a VFD (variable frequency drive) or a rotary phase converter to supply your three phase motor from a single phase source. For large motors it can be expensive.
With the mention of 415 supply voltage it suggests that the supply frequency is 50 hertz. Without knowing what the frequency of the 230 volt three phase motor is, a solution to the problem can not be given.
no. it clearly needs a 415 volt 3 phase motor.
Check the motor name plate details or the data sheet of the motor.
Normally 230V AC 50 Hz, 3 phase motor can be connected in star with 415 V AC 50 Hz supply.
The difference between a single phase and a three phase motor is the amount of power conductors that feed the device. As to the other part of the question a three phase motor will not start or run on single phase. The phase angles on three phase are 120 degrees apart on a single phase system they are 180 degrees apart.
Yes, there a difference between three phase and single phase electrical supply services.

With no three phase power supply you can't use a three phase motor of any kind at all!
If the motor is connected to an ungrounded delta supply service there will be no effect on the operation of the motor. If the motor is connected to a wye system supply service and the B phase grounds out, the motor's overload protection would take the motor off line from the electrical supply.

You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
No. That would be a single phase motor.

actually there is no difference between them. However in some counteries, single phase is used for domestic and three phase is used for industrial.
If the motor is connected to an ungrounded delta supply service there will be no effect on the operation of the motor. If the motor is connected to a wye system supply service and the B phase grounds out, the motor's overload protection would take the motor off line from the electrical supply.
The difference between a single and a three phase online UPS is a 3 phase can supply a 100% unbalanced load on its output without affecting its performance. A single phase cannot supply a 100% unbalanced load on the output without affecting its performance.
The phase voltage is usually constant and determined by the supply voltage.
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
