High voltage fuse adapter system and method

A high voltage fuse adapter system comprising:

• an indicator-end adapter configured to circumferentially enclose an indicator-end terminal of a high voltage International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)-rated fuse, comprising:
• a hollow portion having an inner diameter that surrounds the indicator-end terminal, the hollow portion comprising at least one axially extending slot compressible around the indicator-end terminal;
• and
• an indicator portion;
• a piston and needle enclosed within the indicator portion, the piston and needle coupled to a striker of the high voltage IEC-rated fuse such that upon extension of the striker, the piston at least partially actuates the needle outside of the indicator-end adapter;
• a non-indicator-end adapter configured to circumferentially enclose a non-indicator-end terminal of the high voltage fuse;
• and
• a pair of end caps enclosing the indicator-end adapter and the non-indicator end adapter to form an adapted fuse;
• wherein the adapted fuse is configured to fit in an Underwriters Laboratory (UL)-style fuse mounting.
