I have a Delta 1.5 Hp dust collector I bought used, so I'm not sure how old it is. I currently have it plugged into the 20 amp circuit in my shop. I also have a Rigid TS3650 Table Saw, plugged into the same circuit. This works fine if I walk over and turn on the DC then go use the TS.
I bought one of those vac switches at Woodcraft the other day. This is the thing you plug your DC into and then a tool. When you power on the tool, the DC comes on. This works fine with my sander, mitre saw, router, etc. But when I use the TS the breaker pops. This is new electrical as of 1 year. I guess my question is does anybody know if there is a kind of breaker that will handle a momentary spike like this or could there be something wrong with my DC that is causing this. I do know that if I try to run the DC on a 15 amp circuit all by itself it will blow the breaker.
