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.

If a 100a breaker keeps tripping?
If a 100 amp breaker keeps tripping there is an overload on the system.
In a 120V 24A circuit what amp fuse is needed to protect it?
A 30A fuse would be appropriate to protect a 120V 24A circuit, as fuses are typically chosen to be slightly higher than the circuit load to prevent nuisance tripping.
Why are circult breakers preferable to fuses?
Circuit breakers are preferable to fuses because they can be reset after tripping, while fuses need to be replaced. This makes circuit breakers more convenient and cost-effective in the long run. Circuit breakers also provide better protection against overcurrent and short circuits.
What would cause a circuit breaker to keep tripping?
A circuit breaker may keep tripping due to overloading, short circuits, or faulty wiring.
What type of fuses should be used with air-conditioning systems?
For air-conditioning systems, it is recommended to use time-delay fuses to prevent unnecessary tripping during start-up.
