Are you talking about a 30 amp fuse on the converter?>>> on a Blade type fuse on the 12 volt side of life.
The converter is 35 amps. the fuse 30.. There shoudl be a 2nd fuse or perhaps it was supposed to be a 40 amp. though I suspect a 2nd fuse.
Note if you have two fuses both must be replaced at teh same time with the converter OFF during replacement.. For at least 30 minutes.
Another thing that can turn that fuse(s) into Pop-a-matics is reverse install of the battery.
They are after all called "Reverse Polarity Fuses".
