HV Fuses

[W7SOE]

I made these for the 813 rig.  No idea if they will work but they look good, and that is all that counts.

is the wire outside ? if outside, maybe putting it inside the glass/plastic tube
would be better.

Yeah, I second that.  They need to be enclosed.  Something that will enclose the corona when the fuse opens up....  Sand works well.


Even in heat shrink, but then that would ruin the beautiful job lol]

I put them in those wide body ball point pens, wire and sand.

looking at fuse2.jpg I can't help but wonder
when did St. Louis, MO sell itself to Mexico

The .50 I shoot is a hell of a lot cheaper than that.

Guess it depends on how far they are.

Nice looking fuses  Very Buzzardly.....what is the clear tube?

I disassembled one of the clear tubes from a crapped-out "quartz" radiant electric heater.  It looks like plain glass to me, but maybe it really is quartz.  I had always thought the coils inside those tubes were made of very fine resistance wire, but the one I took apart had an ordinary looking spiral of heavy wire, no different from the exposed coils of wire in ordinary resistance wire type electric heaters.

I found some site glass tubes for fuel oil tanks at HD.  I grabbed a couple.  They're really thick glass tubes about 5/8ths or so outside diameter and maybe 10 inches long. Nice red scale marked on them too.  At the time I thought they would make great plate choke forms.  I can cut them on the tile saw so the possibilities are endless...
