I also had a similar problem that could not find a solution: I want to switch between two sets of secondaries of an HV transformer. My transformer is 360-330-0-330-360. I would like to switch between the 330 and 360 tap, but could not find a component that could guarantee safety of it, as I have a potential difference of 720 V between the phases.
I would have 200mA current in my case.

I never recommend anyone break the rules, however...
Look at ANY Fender standby switch in the last 70 years, and you will not find a one of them rated for the B+ voltage.

Note the nkk series s switch has different dc voltage and current ratings for whether you are switching on/off a resistor, or an inductive circuit. Switching a capacitor on to another capacitor would void the specs, due to transient peak current.About 500ma.
It's to switch B+ in a tube amp.
If you were going to fudge it with just an AC rated toggle switch, then suggest using a 250VAC rated multiple pole switch, and connecting all the poles in series.
