I have old dc motors that I don't have nameplate info for and I need to figure out the FLC. I know the HP and voltage. Any suggestions?

The locked rotor dc resistance of a motor can be used to determine the FLA. Lock the rotor, apply a small DC voltage to the leads and measure the current. Use this info to determine the motor resistance. From this calculate your FLA at applied voltage.
