Looking at the owners manual online for that pump indicates that wired for 115 V you would use a 30A breaker with 10AWG wire. wired for 230V you would be using a 15A breaker with 14AWG . So wired for 230V a 40A breaker is too big. It would not trip soon enough to prevent damage not only to the...

Yes a 40 A breaker does require 8AWG to carry that. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

If the pump runs a few seconds, sounds like the wiring to the the pump could be a problem. it is most likely not drawing too much amperage, but something is causing too much resistance. could be something is making a connection to ground, hince it is tripping. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
