Selection of test number depends on current limiting F fire enclosure/spacing of end product
• 26 AWG line cord removes L1/M1 test requirement
• L5 conducted only if product does not pass section 6.1.2
• L2,M2,L3,M3,L4,M4 conducted if not in a fire enclosure
Fuse must open before the wiring simulator fuse (MDL 2.0).

If sufficient series resistance is used, then the 0.5 fuse may be used in test conditions 1-4.
The 0.5 fuse will open during these test conditions. The 1.25 & 2.0 will not open thus
providing operational compliance.
