[GreenKeys] Model 15 Governor motor Specs RQ

[Duncan Brown]

Bambi,

Since you have replaced the filter caps, it may be that their normal 
impedance is enough to provide a current to trip the GFI. It doesn't 
take much to trip a GFI.

I have a Kleinschmidt TT-98 that I had to install a separate power 
outlet because it would trip the GFI on my bench.  I could not find 
anything wrong with the TT-98 (which was also a series governed motor).

So there may be nothing wrong with the motor.

A series governed motor has a lot of sparking from the brushes and 
switching the series resistor in and out of the circuit.  This can cause 
interference with radios, so a big RFI filter, with capacitors to both 
sides of the line to ground, is used.

Either change out the S-G motor for a synchronous one, or used a 
grounded power cord on a non-GFI circuit.

have fun,

Duncan
