Is it common for electric bathroom vent motors to trip an GFCI receptacle?

Unfortunately GFIs don't like motor loads. The start up current required to start the motor is often 125-150% of the running load current draw. This initial spike in current draw when the motor is energized is sometimes "misread" by the GFI as current going to ground or an imbalance between the hot and neutral current. If your GFI has tripped numerous times, it is likely getting "weak". Try replacing it first. If it still continues to trip, replace your vent fan motor.

Stator and rotor
Are electric motors easier to maintain than gasoline motors?
Electric motors are generally easier and less expensive to maintain than gasoline motors for cars. Electric motors are more efficient and cleaner. There is a battery that needs to be replaced every three years, but there are no other spare parts.
Where can I find electric motors online?
One online store you can buy electric motors at is "ElectricMotors.com" They have a pretty good range of motors to choose from like jet pump, compressors, conveyors and pool motors.

What kind of products does the Electric Motor Warehouse sell?
The Electric Motor Warehouse sells pool pumps and motors; other pool accessories like fencing, steps, etc.; electric motors like bathroom fan motors, air compression motors, etc.; and specifically a large collection of Dayton electric motors, including furnace blower motors and pressure washer motors.
Do motors have batteries?
No, electric motors do not have batteries.Most electric motors are powered from the AC power grid.Power tools and other portable devices using electric motors have batteries, but the electric motors in the tools and devices do not themselves have batteries.
What do generators and motors have in common?
Electric motors and generators are electromagnetic devices that are the opposite of each other. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, while electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
