I am running a piece of equipment that draws 27 amps which is on the nameplate of the motor but keep blowing 30 amp fuses . What size fuse should I have to protect this motor. Can I upgrade the fuse for say 35 amps.

If your located in the USA, need to know if the motor is single or three phase, and horespower.
