Hobart mixer HL200 Keeps tripping the gfci after running for a couple minutes.

Have you measured the amp load?

Electrical equipment and wiring degrades over time. First determine if the breaker is correct for the load. Then measure the current under full load, It has to be less than 80% of the breaker load rating. If you can put a milliamp meter in the ground/earth circuit to measure ground fault, that would tell you if there is a current tripping the GFI. Be aware that not all GFIC breakers are the same. Commercial ones can be bought from 5 ma to 30 ma. Residential ones are between 5ma and 8ma and will cause false trips with motor loads. The key here is spending the time to find the real problem. I never liked throwing parts at a problem instead of doing good sound troubleshooting. Especially the cost of parts today.

Totally agree, without sound diagnosis your just going to keep throwing money away in the hope that the next part will fix the problem. It’s always worth spending time to diagnose properly.
