switch on the hV supply ( and probably darn slow to disengage if a fault 
occurs) I would like to use 
a Vac relay - probably close to the Plate choke since I have room in that 
compartment and a delay 
circuit is darn easy to DIY.

   A SCR or triac contactor will quit conducting at the next "zero axis 
crossing" after being
turned off. (stopped being triggered)  I don't think many vacuum relays can be 
that fast.
