Put the wire into a glass tube and fill that with sand

I really don't like the thought of a piece of wire in there long enough 
to extinguish the arc, or to coat things with vaporized copper. OTOH 
using regular fuses is inviting disaster. Most are rated no more than 
250 v.  HV fuses are difficult to find but about the only safe way to go.
