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.

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.

How many poles are required on motor starters for the following motors a240-volt single-phase induction motor b440-volt three-phase induction motor?

For a 240-volt single-phase induction motor, a two-pole motor starter is typically required, as it connects to the two live conductors of the single-phase supply. For a 440-volt three-phase induction motor, a three-pole motor starter is needed, as it connects to the three phases of the three-phase supply.

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.
