I would swap your fans over, to prove the the fault to a fan motor or EMF from the alternator. I...Liked On: 06-04-2020, 02:58 PM

Is there a label on the fan or model number where you can see what the fans amp load is suppose to be? ...Liked On: 06-04-2020, 04:20 AM

IMO circuit breakers can better handle the brief startup surge current. Regardless of...Liked On: 06-03-2020, 04:28 AM
Posted On: 06-02-2020, 02:27 PMBAsque1 liked post by patrickt On thread : Electric fans burning out the fusesAs a general rule, a loose or crappy connection reduces current, because it's an increase of resistance. But that rule doesn't apply to electric motors because they're not completely a resistive...Liked On: 06-02-2020, 05:18 AM

Posted On: 06-01-2020, 05:28 PMBAsque1 liked post by dwathencars On thread : Electric fans burning out the fusesYes, all motors tend to require a surge of amperage at startup. Higher draw with heat. The older style glass fuses are available in “slo-blo” version to compensate for that. I’ve not found the...Liked On: 06-02-2020, 05:17 AM

You don't have to have a broken wire to have a short and if they worked for a while before blowing the fuses it may be intermittent and difficult to...Liked On: 06-01-2020, 05:50 AM
