Replace and carry on - fuses will often blow at lower than rated currents as a result of heat build up from other sources. Make sure your terminals are tight, wire not too thin or annealed, fuse terminal gripping tightly. Gabriël 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel_2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 May be yoy could install other type of fuse, but I agree pilotfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNodashi Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 replace and carry on. Fuses sometimes blow when your panels produce more power than rated, under perfect conditions. I get it about once a year Gabriël 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will just blow "later", i.e. more current needs to pass through the wires for it to blow. IF there no faults in your system, it shouldn't need to blow.
