I am unable to find the startup amperage of this pump. It claims ‘Max amps 7.1’ on the sticker on the pump? But I am guessing startup is significantly higher?

TIA

It’s a variable speed, wired at 220v on a 30amp circuit breaker. We are trying to determine what circuits are on the subpanel and what the total required amps are to rewire panel.

Use the specified max amps for each device in a load analysis. You do not need to consider transient startup peaks unless specified.

NEC requires all circuits to be loaded to a maximum of 80% of its rated capacity. A 30 amp circuit should have 24 amps maximum specified load.
