we are doing a country club that has a small pond with a pump in the center that shoots water 50' up. The pump was installed before the project started and was fed from a temp pole that was on the property for a house that was going up next door. well the house finished and the owner wanted us to move the controller to the country club about and feed it with perm power. so we set a quazite box were the pole was and moved and connected. for 2 days everthing was fine and then it started tripping so we looked in the box and it was full of water so we dug a trench and buried a conduit to the pond and fixed it. eeverything was fine for about a week. now it will stay on for about 10 min and tripp.the box is dry the current draw is 1- 15.1 amps 2 - 15.4 amps 3 - 7.3 amps on a 30/3 breaker. we ran 3/4 conduit from the clubhouse with thhn and at the box it turns to uf.
