I am trying to control output for high voltage circuits. The voltage I am dealing with ranges from 400 - 6kVAC. Are there High Voltage Switches and or Contactors for this application with a 24VAC to 120VAC coil?

ust remember that you can be rendered instantly DEAD withou
If you have to ask this question, you should call in a professional Electrical Contractor.
Answers might be provided for very Low-Current / High-Voltage projects.
Just remember that you can be rendered instantly DEAD without warning.
How much Current are you working with ?
What is the character of your Load ?
Is a lower Actuation-Voltage available ?
ct to do that without expert assistance seems very risky.
Can you explain the application so we can help you vet the m
Load = Capacitive6000-Volts is nothing to play around with !!!
Is this Voltage generated by a Transformer ?, or what exactly ?
1-Amp = 6000 Watts, that's serious power .....
You didn't answer about the Character of your Load, only that it's "AC",
well that's very-slightly less deadly than DC, but it doesn't say much ......
Is your Load Inductive or Capacitive ?,
or is it strictly Resistive ?
Are you dealing with a Jacobs-Ladder, or maybe a Neon-Sign ?
Maybe a Tesla-Coil ?, or a Car Ignition-System ?
What are you trying to accomplish here ???
Knowing the EXACT desired outcome makes a huge difference.

Can you switch on/off the input to the variac and not the output. Switching at lower voltage will cost less.Variac used to raise and set voltage
Will be on continuously. Cap loads will be switched.Can you switch on/off the input to the variac and not the output. Switching at lower voltage will cost less.
