Hi Carl,
What size wire would you recommend for a 1A supply? If there is a
choice of where to insert the wire would you use it in the RF
compartment or near the B+ supply? Would you recommend a glitch
resistor? If so what size, value and type (carbon, film...)? Thanks

A sustained arc in a small glass fuse improperly used at 10 times or

It gets downright dangerous when the glass breaks and the small arc
becomes a monster plasma arc searching for paths to ground.
I think that's why HV fuses are in glass tubes, packed with sand.

Using a small wire as a HV fuse can also create a similar problem.
