I guess I was just trying to come up with a way to measure the actual back emf and see if that is what these devices use. But the Motolyser gives the test voltage so I can just compare that. But now, I still want to see the actual back emf.
The analysers such as the Motolyzer can't measure the back EMF as an induced voltage when they're already applying a voltage to that phase. The only voltage they can measure is the supplied voltage.
