You could pick up a coil of wire from a hardware store, attach all three conductors in parallel, add a resistive heater in series, and you have a good simulator of an electric motor. I did a really rough calculation on this coil and got 1mH, but it isn't well wrapped, so say 1/100 of that, so 10uH. I wouldn't put more that 45Amps through the 3 wires without a fire extinguisher nearby.
