Just to clarify most DC motors would never have a locked rotor current more than 4 times the rated FLA's?
Generally how long does this current last for before returning to acceptable limits.
DC's motors are rated to operate at 150% FLA's for one minute.

With three motors, 1 - 150 HP VDC motor and 2 - 65 HP VDC motors connected to a 240 VDC Battery, I am trying to find the initial voltage drop on the battery due to the inrush current on the motors.
I have the information off the nameplates of each motor,
150 HP DC Series Motor
545 Amps,230...
