Can I use a Brushless motor on a VFD inverter?

I have a Reliance Electric Servomotor which is described as 'Brushless' it is in fact a 3 phase (240V) motor with a permanent magnet rotor. There are 3 connections to the windings intended to be driven by a servo drive unit. I would like to know if this motor could be used as a spindle motor by connecting it to an inverter intended to drive a 3 phase induction motor (as long as voltages and ratings are suitable)
