Per the 2015 rules, you were allowed to run the PCM off one of the 20A breakers, it didn't have to go through that fuse... Try switching it and see if you still have problems, assuming you have everything setup still. Keep in mind that teams that did go through the fuse were combining the compressor load with anything they had hooked up to the VRM, so it may not be solely the compressor that was blowing the fuse, it was just the piece that sent you over the top.
