Sir For some time, both UL and TUV have required my employer to test with a 25A to 40A current, depending on the branch circuit rating that the device can be connected to (as specified in the Conditions of Acceptability). Also, CSA has (at least for as long as I have been employed here) always required Ground Continuity tests (both Production and Type tests) to be performed at at least 30A for 950, 1010, and 601 devices.

There must be some rationale of doing it this way somewhere.
