Dear Michael,

Congratulations!

The usual cause for a "false" fuse blow is poor connection at the
fuse.  With a high-current fuse like that your connections must be
immaculate or they will generate lots of heat and overheat the
fuse.  Or it could be a bad fuse to begin with.  What type of fuse is
it, and is it made by Buss or Littelfuse, or some no-name outfit?

Yours,
David
