You might have got a short somewhere in your wiring, start checking all the wires

Running it should be around 14 volts,
when the engine is not running, it should be around 12 volts

If something touches the alternator that will happen. I know a lot of times when people install jackson superchargers, they don't relocate the alternator like they are supposed to. Then when they start the car, the supercharger touches the alternator and the fuse blows.
