Hi,


Thirty amps is quite a bit of current, in fact, an electric clothes dryer should use less then thirty amps at all times.

Remember that heat is caused by resistance to electricity. If your connector has any filth or is even slightly loose, at thirty amps, this equals FIRE. Your gentleman of genius that wired up your chariot of contentment may have unleashed an unbridled force that must be corralled correctly without delay.

You should dismantle the circuit completely, and ascertain if there is worn insulation at any point along the harness. The fan itself may be the crux of the calamity and should be tested for shorted windings. Use a known good fan as a reference of resistance.
