Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are designed into electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] in the circuit from overheating, damaging themselves and other adjacent wires, and possibly causing a FIRE! NEVER, NEVER, EVER substitute a larger ["higher"] rated fuse or breaker. This is an invitation for potentially disasterous results. When a fuse "blows" indicates either a short circuit or an overload [drawing too much current (measured in Ampheres, commonly callled Amps)] somewhere in the circuit. When replacement fuses/breakers repeatedly fails indicates that the fault is not transitory, but permantent until the cause is corrected [repaired]. All of the wires, switches, electrical devices in the circuit must be checked out until the fault has been found, and removed or repaired. Again, NEVER replace a blown fuse or tripped breaker with one with a larger current rating!
