The primary disadvantage of the three phase induction motor is that speed control is a challenge. But new technology in the form of VFDs (variable speed drives) is now rectifying this situation very effectively. Another disadvantage is that single phase power is common while three phase power is less commonly available.

The main drawback is that two-phase systems are archaic, and you are unlikely to find one with which to supply a two-phase motor.

Disadvantages of 3 phase induction motor?

One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.

Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?

This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.
