That's really very strange and I have no simple explanation for this
behaviour.

Please double check if you use the correct fuse (maybe with the last modules
the total current goes beyond the fuse value). Especially pay attention that
a time lag fuse (slow blow) with the correct value has to be used.

If the fuse value and type are correct: remove some of the other modules and
install one the A-140 to see if indeed the A-140 causes the problem. As you
already mentioned it woul be very odd if both A-140 are faulty (but who
knows ....)
