    Would you please double check this number for accuracy? That doesn't make sense.

    So you want to add a 7.7 amp pump to a circuit with a 23 amp pump already on it?
    What size is the circuit breaker? What size are the existing conductors? Copper?
    What is this for? A pool? A well?

    To be within the electrical code you should check the pump manufacturer's installation instructions for any limitations or requirements for operation.
