Hi,
Could you mean ATC fuse and not ATO? The ATC fuse is a blade-type fuse just like an ATM. The only difference is the physical size of the fuse. The ATC is an older design and slightly larger.
As far as the fuses are concerned, if one was getting hot, it could have caused damage to the fuse panel itself. Also, if you need to replace the box, don't worry. They have plug connections under them.
Where the fuse was causing the box to melt, inspect it and make sure none of the connectors are not touching.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
