: A fuse would blow any time you overload the circuit. that includes the fuse. There are a number of things that can do this including trying to have your motor draw too much current (I'm not sure what the fuses are rated to of the top of my head so the breaker MAY trip first). Another thing that could happen (and in my opinion is most likely) is that there was a short somewhere in the circuit and it just took the fuse with it. By taking the fuse, it saved the spike.
