No, a sump pump should be its own circuit and although it's not code, you should also have your freezer on it's own circuit. If they were on the same circuit it would most likely trip the breaker or blow the fuse. This could result in a wet basement and the food in the freezer thawing out!

∙ 10y agoIt is not usually a good idea to plug two freezers into the same circuit. The total starting load of a freezer is close to the maximum load that is acceptable for a 15 amp circuit. This is why in new installations a freezer is wired to operate from a dedicated circuit. Two freezers will operate on the same circuit if the starting and stopping do not coincide with each other. The problem will come into effect if there is a small power failure and both freezers come on together when the power comes back on. The breaker may trip. If the freezers do not have a temperature alarm, the problem might not be noticed for a couple of days. Being on holidays and have this scenario happens would surely be annoying as the food loss could be substantial. Bottom line one freezer one circuit, preferable dedicated to the freezer.

Can GFCI circuit breaker handle a 240V circuit with a 120V circuit sub-paneled off if it?
I don't know if you are trying to ask if you can run a 240V panel off a GFCI or run a 120 V sub panel off of a GFCI. Can you clarify please,,,Thanks
What sub-atomic have the same size and mass?
protons and neutrons
An is the smallest classification sub-group of organisms that have the same traits?
species
What size of wire do I need for 130 ft run sub panel?
Wire sizing is based on the amperage of the load. Without this amperage the wire size can not be calculated. Also with sub panels it should be stated whether it is under the same roof as the main panel or separate from the main building. Different code rules apply to each application.
Are lipids composed of the sub-units glycerols and fatty acids?
we have the same worksheet!
True or false The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit?
True
How do you eliminate hinge squeaking on side by side sub-zero freezer refrigerator?
Looking For Others who Have Suddenly Developed squeaking Noise from the Freezer side door hinge on Sub-Zero Freezer Refrigerator, and how the squeaking was eliminated?
What is importance of circuit breakers in sub station?
the circuit board
What type of circuit has double 20amp breaker going to a separate box at that separate box there is a well pump with another 20amp breaker to that?
Sounds like a 240 volt sub panel feeding a well pump.
What are the main components of a household circuit?

What should the sub cooling be on a txv 404a refrigerant freezer?
42
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit.?
True...!
Will a circuit breaker function the same if supply and loads are reversed?
Yes, a circuit breaker will function the same if supply and loads are reversed. This is the way that some sub panels are fed instead of a main disconnect at the top of the distribution panel.
Who is sub-zero?
It means below zero and is also a type of frig/freezer.
What is the sub zero code not typed in?
you must put it in the freezer to reveal the code!
Is the main circuit breaker is a sum of the sub circuit breaker?
Typically yes because that is what makes sense. However, the subpanel could have the same size breaker as long as the panel were rated for that amperage and the wire sizes were appropriate.
Choose true or falseIf all the resistors in a parallel sub-circuit have the same value the total current can be found by multiplying the current by the number of resistors?
False.
