Don't think why just turn it off and get it looked at by an expert.
The 30 amp fuse will carry a lot more than 30 amp before it blows. You have a bad connection which is causing the heat. A lot less than 30 amps is needed to create that heat. The more current you pull through that bad connection the more heat you will get.

It is unsafe, do as Less says and turn off your electric or you risk a fire tonight.
