I always thought motors and compressors tripped GFCI because of the GFCI is 
comparing the
current in the two power wires.  The windings in the motor, acting as an 
inductor, causes maximum current and maximum voltage to occur at different 
times.  Sorry I have been playing with
computers too long and can not remember the correct term.  Is it power 
phase?
