The hot water heater blew a fuse and I changed it. The long buss fuses started making a sizzling noise. The hot water heater is wired into 2 110s to get 220 volts. One buss fuse is a 20 amp and the other is a 30 amp. So is this my problem or do I have another problem? Because the 20 was the one that was getting hot.

What size is the wire and how many watts is the heater element?
