A 3 phase motor does not require a neutral conductor because the impedances that make up the stator coils are of equal magnitude and it is what is known as a balanced 3 phase load. If the loads of a wye connected 3 phase system were unbalanced, i.e. the load currents in each of the 3 phases are different, then the unbalanced currents would require a return path to the service transformer via a neutral conductor. The neutral conductor is the transformer centre tap and is usually earthed locally.

ANOTHER ANSWER

The impedance of each phase winding of a three phase motor is identical (we call it a 'balanced load'). For a star (wye) connected motor, the phasor sum of three identical phase currents is zero, so no current will flow through a neutral, so a neutral isn't required. For a delta-connected motor, there is no provision for a neutral.

How can you operate a electric motor rated at 400V 3phase 50Hz on a 400V 3phase 60Hz system?

Yes, however, the RPM will increase by 20%, if the motor is connected to a shaft or driving something that can not handle the torque, then you might run to heating issues or performance issues.
