- I have used (very successfully) a length of 40 gauge enamelled wire about 6 inches long between two ceramic insulators. If it arcs, it rapidly falls to the bottom of the cabinet, and there's no tube

- After reading a few of the comments about high voltage fuses, we may need a reminder about voltage ratings. Using a 3AG glass fuse in a high voltage lead is a very cheap and dirty method, but the 3AG

- For what it's worth, I see that there are a lot of inexpensive 5KV 0.75-1.0 amp glass fuses listed on ebay for microwave oven use. I assume these would also work in a legal ham amp? -- 73, Pete N4ZR

- Thats a bit too close for even a 1200W amp. Might be fine for something in the SB-200/AL-80 size amp. Size the fuse at 2 to 2.5 times the actual peak current, not steady state key down. Carl KM1H For
