Just so long as you don't have any of those big long red tube shaped fuses at the end.

Not joking, we had a high voltage power supply to a flash x-ray (what the kids today call an x-ray laser) where the connection from the bunker full of capacitor banks to the head was a glass tube full of copper salt solution wrapped with explosive tape.

It's rather difficult to turn off 10,000A of high voltage DC with your typical 2 pole switch.
