Hello all. My name is Jim, retired and I live in the Fresno, Ca. area. I
have been woodworking for several years and have a shop in my garage. Lots
of tools on wheels needless to say. My table saw took a crap the other day.
I made a cut, turned it off and then it would not restart. I narrowed the
problem down to the motor itself. It is a Jet 3 hp. I get a little blurp
from it like it wants to start but before it can it will trip the house
breaker switch. The capacitors on the motor check ok and the house breaker
switch is ok. Other 220 tools run fine. Can anyone tell me how to check the
motor to see what's bad? Best regards. Jim

Well believe it or not the problem was a weak circuit breaker. I took the
motor to an electric shop and it ran fine there. Brought it home and same
problem. Threw in a new breaker and guess what, motor ran fine. The motor
pulled juuuuust enough extra amps to pop the switch. Lesson learned. Best
regards. Jim
