Ah: so….

Perhaps an isolation transformer of suitable wattage – a ‘travel transformer’ if an actual 2-winding device, not an auto transformer – with the shell earthed – might stop the tripping….

The motor doesn’t draw much at all – I’m not in my shop just now or I could look it up.

And IIRC there are gear sets for the 15 for 50/60 Htz….

Cheers

I think Bambi is down under. Not sure what power grid they use.

So would a synchronous motor be the correct RPM on Ausie power?

Is the motor series-governed or synchronous?

And it could be the bypass capacitors themselves that are ‘leaky’ enough to trip a GFI.

Both style motors are fairly plentiful, and are easy to install. Might be better to try and find the whole assembly intact, rather than cowboy a ‘foreign’ motor into a Mod 15.

Further – at this juncture, you may wish to consider just replacing the motor with a ‘synchronous’ unit – this removes a layer of complexity and things that will eventually fail (brushes, governor parts, rubber tires and discs, resistors, etc.)

Unless you are doing a “100 point” restoration that is. Otherwise, a sync motor is a lot less hassle in the long run.

Just my 200 millidollars….

The motor on the Model 15 I am restoring trips the Ground Fault breaker even after replacing the filter capacitors, so I am looking sadly to replace it. Would a member know where the specs for this 1/25 HP motor including torque could be found?
