I have a subpanel in my backyard for my pool pump that's fed from my main box by a 40a 240v breaker. The pool pump and an salt water clorination system runs off a single 20a 120v circuit at the subpanel.
I want to add a 30a GFCI breaker to the subpanel for my eBIAB build. Will I be able to run the pool pump and the eBIAB at the same time without tripping breakers, or will I need to be sure to always have one or the other circuit off?
I measured the draw from the pool pump circuit with everything running, and it read 15.6a at 120v, which I think would represent 7.8a of the total 240v feed, leaving a suitable 32.2a to run everything simultaneously, if needed? Any flaws in this logic? I'm a novice with electric, and might be oversimplifying the calculations.
Thanks for any help!
