This is not a good idea to do. Sometimes just that little bit of extra current that the 45 amp fuse will allow to reach the 40 amp load might be enough to destroy the device.

It is not recommended to replace a 30 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse in a central AC unit. The fuse should match the specified amperage requirements to prevent damage or overheating of the unit. Using a lower amp fuse could potentially lead to electrical issues or failure of the AC unit.
