    Yes, you can save a lot of money by just putting in a bigger fuse - I
    hear the cost of a good arsonist has tripled in recent years. Or, you
    could just pour gasoline all over, and burn your house down
    yourself....... You have a short circuit - my guess is that more
    likely you are CREATING  a short circuit. If you turn on the
    rectifier, and it doesn't blow, then the machine is probably fine.
    Question?  Are you letting the wires, or the piece on the wire, touch
    each other?  If that happens - instant blown fuse - Your proverbial
    short circuit. Otherwise, get someone who doesn't want to put in a
    bigger fuse to crack open the box and look for crossed wires or
    burned insulation......
