Hi guys

If a motor gets connected in WYE and run in the WYE connection with a supply voltage of 380V, can the motor be damaged in any way ?

The motor specs is as following (380V 50HZ WYE - 660V 50HZ DELTA)

Those motor specs are wrong; you cannot have a higher voltage for the delta connection. Wye is always higher.

If the wye connection is for 660 volts (I strongly suspect it is), then running it on 380 will cause it to produce roughly 1/3 of its rated HP.

If the load is such that the FLA for the wye connection (Higher voltage) is not exceeded, it'll be ok.

Sorry my bad I mixed up voltages.

so you mean the voltage is no problem as long as the current does not exceed the rated current

Yes. But with any load at all on it, the current will be high.
