â The trouble with high voltage fuses is that the metal vapor arc
which forms as the fusing wire melts has only c. 30v drop. However, a
low-ESR 3000v filter C can still do plenty of damage at 2970v, so a
foolproof means of limiting I-peak is needed. In other words, the
device that the HV fuse is supposed to be protecting from a current
spike is not protected for a finite period of time, and damage may
result.
- A better solution is to limit I-peak with a suitable HV glitch R and
use circuit breakers, or 250v fuses, in the primaries of the PS
transformers.

Gents,
Anyone remember what wire size to use for a HV fuse??? Looking for
something that will pop at around 2 amps.
