Can you start 20kw motor on direct on line circuit?

No, the motor has to be connected to the line voltage through a set of fuses and then an electrical contactor. Also the motor must be thermally protected against overloads by using an overload block or heaters. This is to allow the motor contactor to drop out is a overload fault should occur.

What can happen if you over load a circuit?

If the circuit is properly protected nothing should happen to the circuit. The overload device will sense the overload and shut the circuit down. If there is no overload protection, what usually happens is the weakest component of the circuit will be destroyed rendering the circuit inoperative.
