Industrial machines powered by residential electrical isn’t always the desired result.
My 5 hp Unisaw started tripping a 40 amp breaker when I rewired with a shorter larger gage cord to a subpanel next to my main panel. It turns out the extra ability to pull higher current from a less resistive wiring scheme creates a lot of inrush.
Adding a long 10 gage extension cable reduces the inrush enough to stay under the trip curve!
I was concerned that the motor may be going out. I was glad to find that it was working well and no issues. Possibly this will help someone else with a similar issue.
