I am a newly graduated electrical engineer with little practical engineering skills and my first gig. We plan to use signal phase, variable speed, permanent magnet pool motors that we have ordered in bulk, however they seem to spike about 15ma of common mode ground current when the motor turns on, tripping the class A (5ma) GFCI. I need a quick solution to fix the bulk order that we have and then a permanent solution that we can add to the motor for the next shipment.
From my research it seems like there may be a few options including isolation transformers, reactor, RC snubbers, common mode filter. But I really am not sure.
I am hopping that you guys have some helpful tips for me. Thank you!
This is the motor. I have more specs if needed.
This is the breaker.
And we have tried hooking it up in two ways shown below.
