have a swamp cooler, that is hooked up and runs fine. As soon as I hook up my water pump to a solar power source, on a completely different grid than the cooler itself is plugged into, it kicks the breaker. Both units work fine plugged in separately, but if I try to have them both plugged in at the same time it won't work. Whatever grid the cooler is plugged into is the one that kicks. No matter if I switch power sources, whatever one the cooler is plugged into will kick off. It's so hot! Please help! Any advice is appreciated!
