I think you have an electrical problem within your chiller.
If the chiller is running harder due to less flow ( IE: a worn out pump) it will cycle on longer , over heat and self protect by blowing fuses.
As Christyf5 said putting a fan in front of it has helped ( a temporary fix) The fan is helping the chiller to run cooler....or preventing the over heating situation...
