I have my whole shop on GFI, I don't trip any on startup.
GFI is specifically for ground fault.
So if you are tripping them, either the gfi is bad or you have a problem
with your end equipement / or wiring of the equipment.

Ok, one more question. What if it's just a two pronged plug (no ground
plug) as is the case with that fan in the bathroom that I mentioned?
Could a two pronged plug produce false GFI trips?
