Sounds like you are hooked up to a fuse that is not able to handle the load you are putting on it. Many electrical clothes dryers, microwaves, and power tools draw 30 or more amps and are not suitable for lower capacity amp fuses.
Contact a certified electrician and have him evaluate the fuse box to aleviate the problem.
I had a similiar problem with my microwave that was solved.

Call an electrician ASAP. Circuit breakers and fuses should not be blown by your a/c. Internally there might be some form of thermal protection which will cut portions of the HVAC system off when, say a filter is clogged. Clear the debris and contaminants from the outside unit. You can try to correct these two possible culprits before calling out a HVAC Tech or Electrician.

Central Air requires a 50 amp breaker. If you do not have a 50 amp breaker that is probably the problem. Be sure your wire is rated for 50 amps as well. I believe that is #2 but check with your local electrical supply. If you have the right breaker and wire the next thought is the motor has gone goofy. At any rate...this is beyond diy. Call for help.

110 or 220? if its a 110 unit. need a heavier fuse or breaker, cause your fuse now not big enought to carry the load. Call around first for better help!!

check to make sure you are using a time delay fuse type. If not, this may be your problem as these units have a longer higher starting rating and require a time delay element.

Could be a short somewhere. Or perhaps (less likely) it is overworked. Get an HVAC guy to look at it.
