I installed a 2P standard breaker to control both a Delta 220v cabinet saw and a Jet 220v planer. I have a wall outlet in an unfinished area of the basement (my workroom) with a 220v receptacle. It then has a rather short (approx 8-10ft) heavy duty extension with the correct 220v plug and receptacle I move between these two machines. Just depends on what I am working on. Typically it stays connected to the Delta Saw. Based on NEC, is a 2P GFCI required in this application?
I have a concern that the motor characteristics may cause nuisance tripping. I noticed our furnace and an outdoor sewage pump are not connected to GFCI. I suspect it has something to do with they are both motors.
