Why does my truck AC fuse keep blowing?

Breakers and fuses are designed to trip or blow when too much voltage is sent through the line.

Why does my portable air conditioner keep tripping the breaker?

Well, an air conditioner usually trips the breaker because it’s pulling in more amps than the breaker is rated for. That is, if you have a 20-amp breaker and the AC pulls 30 amps, the breaker trips. So DON’T keep resetting the breaker and letting it trip. Constant tripping can harm equipment and cause a fire.
