10 kV fuses are BIG!

I checked the Littlefuse web site and found a "medium voltage"
fuse rated 14,400 volts, 0.5 amp and up.  This fuse is 12 inches
long, 1-5/8 inches in diameter!  HUGE!  (Of course, its interrupt
rating is 80,000 amperes.)

I suspect you don't want something this big.  I also suspect you
don't have 80,000 amperes to interrupt.

So, without knowing anything about your circuit or applciation...

* Check out the various fuse manufacturers.

* If the 10 kV is derived from a lower voltage, fuse the low 
  voltage side.

* Use a low-voltage side electronic overcurrent detector.

* Put a low-voltage current sense in the grounded return leg to 
  the transformer.  Use the output to control the primary.


Best regards,
Rich
