I’m slowing making progress on my shop in the basement. I’m running two 20amp 120v circuits alternating around the shop perimeter (each circuit is a 20amp GFCI w/4 20amp receptacles attached downstream).
That gives you an idea of the setup, so let’s jump to the problem. When I tested the first GFCI circuit last night to make sure it worked, I just plugged in the JT360 jointer since it was the closest tool nearby. It started up fine, but when I turned it off (about a second later) the GFCI flipped. I thought that was odd so I tried the second GFCI circuit and it did the same thing. I reset the circuits and plugged in the dust collector and then an air compressor and they worked ok. I went back to the jointer and plugged it in turned it on and then unplugged it while it was running, everything ok. Something happens in the jointer motor during its shutdown that is flipping the GFCI breaker.
Is this something that I can fix or am I going to have to just plug it into a non-protected outlet? Thks
