6.Thermal Stability Test(IEC61643-11，Section 7.2.5.2/8.3.5.2)

The SPDs connect to a power frequency source. And the current is set to a constant value.
To first sample, the test is started at a value of 2mA rms or at Uc. This value of current is then increased in steps of either 2mA
or 5% of the previously adjusted test current, whichever is greater. Each step is maintained until thermal equilibrium is
reached( variation of temperature at the hottest spot less than 2K within 10min).
For the other samples the start point shall be changed from 2mA to a current corresponding to 5 steps below the current value at
which the first sample disconnected .
