No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
125 percent of full current rating of the motor
Power factor capacitors can be installed on a three phase motor between the motor contactor and the overload heater block.
yes by reversing phases
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.
If a motor 3 phase or single phase goes above the full load amps that is on the nameplate of the motor then it is in overload condition. This is usually caused by trying to drive machinery with less horsepower that the manufacturer recommends To protect the motor from this condition overload heaters are put in series with the supply voltage and the motor leads. If the current from the motor draws more that the motor's nameplate FLA then the overload heater opens the supply voltage through use of a motor contactor. The contactor can not be closed again until the motor overload heaters cool down and by the same token the motor gets a chance to cool down. This condition is rectified by either using a bigger HP rated motor or lowering the load on the machinery that the motor is driving.

Any value over .65kA will be classed as an overload.

yes by reversing phases
Yes but it will not start. Usually if you lose one phase the current will go higher on the other phases and the motor overload protection will disconnect the motor from the supply voltage.

For a 3 wire 240-volt single-phase motor, typically one overload unit would be required. The overload unit would protect the motor from overheating due to excessive current draw. It is important to select the correct size overload unit based on the motor's full load amperage.
If the motor was lightly loaded it may continue to run, however in most applications the loss of the phase would cause the motor to stop. Properly wired and it should trip the motor overload device and prevent damage to the motor windings.

Each leg of a three phase motor must have overload protection. There is no minimum. Older magnetic contactors used to only protect two legs but occasions arose out of this configuration that would cause the motor to single phase on an overload condition. The code was changed to stop this condition from happening so now all three legs must be protected.
