Have 110volt refrigerator on a 30 amp breaker is that right?
Check the MFG for the amps it uses, if it is suppose to be on a regular 20amp line, then replace the breaker with a 20amp breaker. With the 30amp breaker,it will work, but if there is a surge, you could send too much power to the appliance and fry it. Most refrigerators, are just on a regular 120v household outlet. Besides a 30amp breaker must have 10ga wire, if the wire is 12ga,it can not be attached to a 30amp breaker.
Can you plug a 20amp device into a 30amp circuit?
Yes, you plug a 20 amp device into a 30 amp circuit. The circuit always needs to be equal or greater than the device. If you plug to large of an appliance into a circuit, the circuit breaker (or fuse) should open the circuit so that no damage occurs.
Is it advisable to use a 30 A fuse in circuit that is rated to carry only 20 A?
No, the fuse must be rated lower. If a 30amp fuse is used on a circuit rated as 20amp, the cables would heat in the case of a short, before the fuse would blow and switch off the circuit - leaving a fire hazard.

What happens when a 20amp device connects to a 30amp receptacle and the power supply fails - will it trip the breaker?
Assuming you are referring to the power supply failing in your 20A device, it could cause the 30A breaker protecting the receptacle to trip. It depends on the mode of failure. It is easy to imagine a condition where a short in the power supply could cause a current in excess of 30A to flow to the device and trip the breaker.
