Re: Measuring motor current (anyone tried this?)

I would hope that there is an EXTREMELY small voltage drop across the breaker. Probably not enough to give you any degree of confidence unless the motor is dragging very badly.

Have you thought about using one of your Victors or Jaguars at a fixed setting (maybe 25%), then swap the connection between motors and see if one is noticeably slower?
