Why does the main fuse blow and not a branch fuse?

A. Here are some reasons a main fuse (say 100A) blows instead of a branch fuse (rated at 15A, for instance): 1. The two fuses’ time current characteristics curves aren’t coordinated. This could be the case with dual-element, time delay, 15A fuse and renewable fusible element-type 100A fuse.

These can be as low as 2 to 1 (100A main versus 50A branch fuse = 2 to 1). But watch for old installations where connections have deteriorated and/or fuses have been in service for a long time.

Why does the fuse blow on a type’s Edison?

Edison and Type S fuse adapters can cause additional problems if the hot bus screw isn’t tight, causing heat to spread or “sink” up the main bus. I’ve experienced this many times. In some cases, the equipment was badly overheated. Upon tightening, it got better for a short time before overheating and failing again.

Why does the ignition fuse keep blowing out?

If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape. 10A is the ignition fuse. Same thing happened to me couple months ago and I have the same model and year.

Why does the main fuse blow and not a lower Amp Fuse?

The loading on each branch circuit always remains below its respective fuse “minimum melting time.” You can’t detect it using a multimeter, so R.A.M. should connect a recording ammeter to each line-side phase conductor feeding the panel, for at least one week, to see this effect. —F.M.P. A.
