The PCM has current limiting built in. It is rated for 17 amps continuous. It will allow more for the start up inrush. A bit of history: The older FRC compressors were famous for blowing fuses on the spike relay on start up. FRC allowed replacing the fuse with an 20 amp circuit breaker for that reason. I suspect you have a similar problem.
