Notes:
1. Primary protectors are removed for all tests.
2. For EUT containing secondary voltage limiting and current limiting protectors, tests are to be
performed at the indicated voltage(s) and repeated at a reduced voltage and current just below the
operating threshold of the secondary protectors.
3. This test is to be performed between the ranges of 100V-600V and is intended to produce the
greatest heating affect.
4. Test 5 simulates a high impedance induction fault. Specific information regarding this test is
available upon request.
5. These tests are repeated using a short-circuit value just below the operating threshold of the
current limiting device or if the EUT uses a fuse as current limiting protection, the fuse may be
bypassed and the short circuit current available adjusted to 135% of the fuse rating.
Second Level AC Power Fault for Customer Premises Equipment
For customer premises equipment, the EUT is tested to the conditions shown in Table
4-6 and connected to a circuit equivalent to Figure 4-2. During this test, the wiring
simulator can not open. For equipment that uses premises type of wiring, the wiring
simulator is a 1.6A Type MDQ fuse from Bussman. For equipment that is connected
via cable, the wiring simulator is a piece of 26 gauge copper wire.

Notes:
1. Applied between exposed surfaces and ground.
2. The 60Hz signal is applied with an initial amplitude of 30V
RMS
and 30mA and increased by 20%
every 15 minutes until:
a.The voltage reaches the maximum specified.
b.The current reaches 20A or the wiring simulator opens.
c.The EUT fails open circuit.
3. If the EUT fails open circuit, the test will continue for an additional 15 minutes to ensure that
another component of the EUT does not create a fire, fragmentation, or electrical safety hazard.
