The fuse (or circuit breaker) rating has been exceeded. I'm assuming you do NOT have the AC unit connected to a dedicated circuit. Lets say you have a 15 amp circuit breaker and the AC unit draws 12 amps and other items on the same circuit draw an additional 5 amps. The total amp draw of 17 amps exceeds the circuit design capacity; so the breaker trips to prevent an electrical fire. If you have old style fuses, NEVER EVER replace a fuse with a higher rated one! I'm sure you'd have problems with your homeowners insurance paying out when your house burns down. Have an electrician run a new dedicated circuit for the AC unit and you should be good to go.
What else can I help you with?
Why would plugging in an AC unit in a wall receptacle cause the fuse to blow or breaker to trip?
Is the receptacle a 110 or a 220 outlet? If it's a 110, it needs to be a 220. Are there other appliances, lights, etc. wired on the same outlet? If so, you may have to re-wire so that no other appliances, lights, etc. are wired into the same breaker. Usually the larger appliances such as air conditioners, central heat systems are wired to a separate breaker or fuse.
Can you use a 6A 250v fast blow fuse instead of a 6.3A 250v fast blow in a 250 volt amplifier?
You can it will be safe and no damage will result. However it will blow sooner than the intended fuse would, so the amplifier will no longer have its full normal operating range.
Can you put a 15 amp fuse in an electric fire plug?
I would say no as it could blow and if majorly can damage the plug and can be expensive to repair
Would static electricity be the cause of a ceiling light continuing to blow a fuse?
No. There is an excessive current draw, possibly in the form of a short circuit. Get an electrician to check it and fix it before you set fire to house.
How not to blow your load so soon?
Thank You for this Great Site...*
What causes the courtesy fuse to blow?
Short in the courtesy light receptacle, wiring, or the switch. Can also be a corroded receptacle.

Why would the air conditioning not blow cold in idle in a 2002 Chevrolet suburban?
tad bit low on freon.
What do you think would happen if you put a 3A fuse in a plug used for kettle?
I know what would happen. The three amp fuse would blow. Any device that is plugged into a receptacle with out having sufficient resistance to limit the current flow will dead short the circuit and cause the breaker that feeds the circuit to trip. In this case the fuse being of a lower rating that the feed breaker the fuse will blow without tripping the receptacle's feed breaker.
Why would a central air conditioning unit not blow any air in the house?
indoor air fan is not functioning. for that, there are many possibilities.
What would make a 1995 jaguar only blow cool air when the air conditioning is on?
jaguars blow, the ac is making the cool air. turn it off, to stop cool the cool air.
Does the air conditioning blow colder when the temperature is set lower?
Yes, the air conditioning blows colder when the temperature is set lower.
How would the repair of the heater and air conditioning not blowing be made on a 1994 acura integra?
I own a 1994 acura integra and the heater/air conditioning blower is not working, I can not defrost my windows and the heat does not blow. What is wrong and how can the problem be fixed.
Why would an AC blow warm air?
It is probably too old or you could have it on the warm setting. I'm going to have to say, get a new air conditioning. MaDiSoN!!!
What would cause the air conditioning to run cold for ten minutes and then blow warm on a 1995 Ford Ranger?
Low refrigerant defective pressure switch
