Fluorescent Lamp Load Test for Switch in IEC 60669-1 Standard

I have a question regarding IEC 60669-1 clause 19.2_ Fluorescent lamp load test for switch intended for using with fluorescent lamp.
One of the requirements of test circuit supply is :The prospective short-circuit current of the supply shall be between 3 kA and 4 kA at cos ϕ = 0,9 ± 0,05 (lagging).
Our prospective short-circuit current is extremely low: 400A.:frust:
My question is: Why the standard require The prospective short-circuit current (PSCC), what does PSCC impact to the fluorescent lamp test? and how we can do to improve the PSCC?
Thanks and regards.

Now I understood,
Thanks Stijloor and Marc for your supporting.

Hi Marc,
My mean that now I understand my problem,:lol:
The short circuit current impact to the line inductance in fluorescent lamp circuit. By this way, it impact to the peak current in steady-state of circuit when the switch switching. So it is the mandatory requirement of fluorescent lamp load test.
:thanx:
