Thanks for that. As an exercise, I put a 30A blade fuse in it's place. It lasted for about a quarter of a second before blowing. Refitted the circuit breaker, and it ran for a couple of minutes before tripping and resetting.

What would cause a fuse to blow so quickly, but would allow a CB to work for a couple of minutes?
