Curt,

Crow bar circuits used to be sold after market for suplies made by the open frame power supply companies like Power Designs. You could do that, or you could place a shunt zener diode on the output of the supply rated at say 16 volts, for a 12 volt supply. Fuse the supply up stream of the zener diode, so that if it goes overvoltage, the zener shunts full current or tries to, and the fuse blows.
