A fuse trips when the current in the circuit is too high. You either have a failing component, a shorted wire, or too many components in the circuit.
Well, my fuses don't keep tripping. But apparently yours are, so here goes: first of all, fuses don't "trip", their elements burn or melt due to more current or amps passing through them than the fuse is rated for.
Circuit breakers "trip" for the same reason but can be reset whereas fuses can't be reset but must be replaced.
There are numerous reasons why your fuses keep burning out. Understand that the fuse is there to protect the wiring and the device the fuse is supplying power to.
The most common reasons are:
1. the fuse is too "small", that is, its amp rating is too low for the load. However, do not install a higher amp rated fuse into the circuit unless you are absolutely sure of the correct circuit amperage rating. Otherwise you may burn up the wiring on the load side of the fuse or damage the device it is supplying power to. If the fuse was factory installed, then it should be the correct amperage rating.
2. assuming the fuse is the correct size (amp rating) then the load it is supplying power to is drawing too much current and is defective, and should be replaced. What is the load the fuse is supplying power to? If you post a more definitive question, someone may be able to give you more information.

What's being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet?
Read your instruction manual. If it says "Do not plug into a plug with a ground fault circuit interrupter," you are plugging it into the wrong type of outlet. Otherwise and most probably, nothing is being done wrong when the electric juicer keeps tripping the outlet. The outlet is tripping due to a ground fault. That means there is a loose wire or bad wire in the electric juicer. The ground fault keeps tripping to keep you from getting electrocuted. If the juicer is new or still under warranty, you need to take it back. If it is not under warranty, you need to get it fixed or throw it away.
