No.
You can use a voltage converter to step down the 460V 3 phase motor to match the 380V 50Hz supply. Make sure the converter can handle the motor's current requirements. It's also advisable to consult with an electrician to ensure safe and proper installation.
A 208/230 volt single phase appliance requires a dedicated electrical circuit with a voltage of 208 to 230 volts and a single phase power supply. The appliance should be connected to a properly rated outlet or wiring to ensure safe and efficient operation.
A unit of electrical equipment is designed for operation at a certain voltage - or within a certain range of voltages - i.e for 5 volts, 12 volts, 120 volts. 220 to 240 volts. Originally the UK household alternating current supply voltage was specified at 240 volts or, more precisely, 240 volts RMS +/-6%, running at a frequency of 50Hz.Some time ago, to allow harmonisation across Europe, the specifications were changed to 230 volts RMS +10%/-6%, also running at a frequency of 50Hz.Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within European Union norms (standards) even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 volts and a lower limit of 216.2 volts. So, because 208 volts is lower than the minimum range of a standard 230 volt 50 Hz supply, it is not safe to assume that any equipment which has a rating plate saying that it should be powered from a 208 volts ac supply can be used on a 230V ac supply without causing any damage. Such damage might affect the equipment itself or its surroundings or its "human" users... If the Asker could use the discussion page - by clicking the Open Discussion button shown below this answer - to tell us exactly what the circuit is, which "demands 208VAC single phase", that information would be interesting to know. Then, maybe, a much more helpful answer could then be given here!
Look on the equipment near where the electrical cable enters, and there should be a small plate with the correct voltage range printed on it.
Connect a 2:1 ratio step-down transformer across any two line conductors of the three-phase supply, and the secondary will provide a 240-V single-phase supply. Unless you are qualified to do so, don't do this yourself, because the circuit will require the installation of overcurrent protection devices such as fuses or circuit breakers, in accordance with the relevant regulations, to make the installation safe.
I believe the rule of thumb is 10% either way and you have exceeded that.
One is just as safe as the other. The deciding factor here is what supply voltage do you have at your establishment to operate the welder a single phase or three phase service.
When dealing with a 3 phase power supply the safe clearance zone between each phase is usually within an arms reach, there are exceptions to this rule like a 3 phase socket or a distribution board.
Single phase or three phase? 120/208 would be measured hot to ground for 120 and hot to hot (phase to phase) for the 208 reading. Any hot to ground will read 120 and any two phases together will read 208.
Yes, that is safe.

If the appliance is strictly resistive heating there will be no problem. If the appliance has a motor load connected with it, the unit will operate a bit slower and operate a bit warmer.
