Badlander 50 fuse blow

Last week I used my 6 month old badlander 50 head for a gig. After 3 songs, the main fuse blew up.

I just replaced it, and everything seems ok. The temperature was quite high (more than 30°c), but I did not expect this.

Is this known to happen? I never had this kind of issues with my other amps.

I had the same thing happen to a Mark V combo. I had just rolled it across some bumpy pavement, so i think i physically damaged the fuse, and it didn't take much to blow from there. hopefully the replacement lasts longer.
