If it is powering a single 3 phase device and is protected by a single throw 3 pole breaker or disconnect, yes. If all three hots share one neutral, and supply different devices or circuits, breakers should be able to trip independently but would still have to disconnect all three phases together.
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
Yes, a 3 phase 95 millimeter for each phase 150 meters long cable is enough for a 285 KVA genset.
A wire size of 250 MCM will limit the voltage drop to 3% over a distance of 200 feet.

Electric power is measured in watts. It does not matter if it is single phase or three phase. All things being equal, for the same load, the power measured in a single phase circuit or a three phase circuit, will be the same.
Yes, a 3-phase circuit can be used as three separate single-phase circuits by connecting each load to one of the phase conductors. This allows you to operate three independent single-phase loads using the same 3-phase power source. However, caution should be taken to ensure that the loads are balanced among the phases to avoid overloading any of the phases.
3 phase cable is transposed to minimize the effect of leakage/capacitance current.
A single-phase circuit has one live conductor and one neutral conductor, typically used for residential applications. A three-phase circuit has three live conductors and one neutral conductor, used for higher power industrial applications due to its ability to provide a more balanced power distribution.
3 pole circuit breakers are used for 3 phase lines
There are many ways to wire 3 phase circuits, depending on the application. AN answer here will necessarily be a simplistic and general one. From a safety aspect, anyone seeking information of this kind is not qualified to work on 3 phase electrical systems and to attempt it is risking injury or death. It's best to leave mains wiring to qualified professionals.
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.

your not completing the circuit your only using one phase for a three phase motor
Yes, a 3 phase 95 millimeter for each phase 150 meters long cable is enough for a 285 KVA genset.
We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor
A ground, or earth, conductor is never included in the conductor count. So, a three-phase, three-wire, system has three line conductors, whereas a three-phase, four-wire system, has three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
To earth a 3-phase electric circuit, connect the earth wire from each phase to a common earth point, usually a grounding rod or plate buried in the ground. This helps to protect against electrical faults and ensures the safety of the circuit by providing a path for excess current to flow safely into the ground. It is important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when earthing a 3-phase circuit.
