Try this test first. Unplug the alternator connector. Now start the engine and do whatever you did that caused the fuse to blow before. If the fuse doesn't blow, plug the connector back in and drive it some more. This will tell you if the problem is voltage-related or is caused by vibration shorting a wire somewhere.
