In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

They may be presently fixing the problem with a newer Hi-amp circuit breaker, but the total current going through the wires is going to be high if the voltage drops.

Check your grounding wire from the pump and make sure it is grounded properly. Some have reported an improperly grounded pump motor, and that would cause the voltage to drop and the current to go up. Lippert informed my dealer when we had the 3400 in 2008 to add a parallel breaker that Lipper provided. It solved the problem.
