Default Can a loose connection lead to a blown mains fuse?

800 watt toroidal transformer operating at say 400 watts. Secondaries lead
to conventional bridge rectifier and smoothing caps for +/- rails. A break
appears in the DC rails central 0V return to the transformer, could that
lead to a blown mains fuse, via inductive action?
