Overloaded circuits, short circuits and ground faults are all legitimate reasons why your fuses blow on a regular basis or causes for your fuse box to trip out. Other causes could be a result or ageing or faulty wiring as well as power surges.
If a fuse repeatedly blows out, this is a sign of an electrical surge or short somewhere in the electrical system. Finding the exact source of a surge or short location is an investigative process best left to experienced mechanics familiar with these electrical systems.
Remove the fuse from its holder. In some cases you may need a small screwdriver to unscrew the fuse holder cap. Look at the fuse wire. If there is a visible gap in the wire or a dark or metallic smear inside the glass then the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
No, not advised. Increasing the fuse rating means in case of a fault, the fuse does not blow out and the wiring which is designed for 20amps may lead to fire 🔥.
Electric lawnmowers may cut out for two main reasons: A faulty power switch or a loose cable connection. An overheating motor can cause the thermal cut out to trip.
Improper modification is one of the most commonly seen problems. The most common of these is tapping more than one conductor from a single connection point.
Whatever happened to blow the fuse could have done considerable harm. You need to call an electrician right away to ensure no further damage occurs. In the meantime, do not go near the fuse box.
The main reasons your amp keeps blowing fuses are a short circuit, faulty wiring, a loose connection, excessive heat, or damage to the power supply or output section or the amplifier.

ANSWER : Check the wiring to the PTO first. if it is good either the PTO or its inline fuse has failed. try the fuse first as it is much cheaper. if it just blows again you are back to replacing the PTO.
