Electric tongue Jack blows fuses

[Whangler]

New trailer came with a Barker VIP 3500 tongue Jack. It blows the fuse (30A) when I reverse direction. If I stop and wait a moment before reversing direction, fuse doesn't blow. Other than this, the jack works fine. This is my 4th TT with an electric tongue jack but this never happened on the others. Any ideas?

yup. same thing on my atwood jack, my smaller barker ball screw and my barker 3500 ball screw and on my max air fan.

basic analysis of electric motor principles of operation will show a much larger than normal current draw with motor running in the reverse direction when voltage is applied.
