Anytime a fuse blows, or a circuit breaker trips, indicates an excessive current [measured in Ampheres (Amps)] flowing in the circuit. This is an abnormal condition, and could be hazardous which is why fuses or circuit breakers are installed in electrical circuits. These safety devices are designed to cut off the electricity to prevent damage to the system, or in a worst case scenario, a fire. When repeated fuse blowing, or breaker tripping, occurs, you must troubleshoot the circuit to find the cause of the overload or short, and then remove/repair the cause before a new fuse can remain in place without blowing.
