MOTOR INDUCTANCE L To measure the motor inductance use a low voltage ac source to the motor winding. For a dc motor, apply the ac voltage to the armature winding. For a BLDC motor apply the ac voltage to one pair of the three wires. In both cases measure the voltage and the current. Remember that the BLDC motor is usually connected in WYE.Jflack, We currently tech all motors at our track using an inductance meter and the numbers you are showing are very similiar to what i see every week. he one thing I've noticed is the hotter the motor gets the lower the number will be.
