John, There are two fuses for the blowers and a 50 amp fusible link as well. Some, including me, have had this fusible link get so hot, while running the blowers on high, that it melts the plastic terminal block. My fuse blew just as the block was melting, but I was able to repair it and now try to avoid using high speed.
