Anton,
This is a strange one since there is every indication you can put a dead short across the breaker without tripping it for several seconds. Did the breaker repeatedly trip or just the one time. If just once, it was probably half tripped from shipment. If more than once and the pump was running fine, then you might have a defective breaker. In testing the pump we found it draws about 12 amps when getting upwards of 80PSI but draws more when starting. The start peak is normal and should not trip the breaker.
Let me know what you find.
Al
