Hi guys, I am going to install a device, it is running microwave magnetron up to 2kW, with power supply of 230V/Single phase/ 50Hz.
According to manufacturer's instruction, it supposed to be connected to a 16A MCB/isolator for protection.
The problem now is that the location only has a 32A isolator switch, and it is very tough to change to a 16A (need to go through several department, etc).
My first concern is that a 32A isolator will not cut off power when it goes above 16A, thus damaging the device.
However, I checked that the device itself has a 16A fuse, so the only problem is the cable connecting isolator to device, which is a 3x2.5mm2 t&e cable with C19 connector.
I understand that 2.5mm2 is not the best option with 32A isolator, however I can't find any cord in the world that connect a 4mm2 t&e with C19 (in fact C19 only rated at 16A).
Any advice on what can I do without tempering the 32A isolator?
Any concern if I connect the 2.5mm5 cable directly to a 32A isolator?

- TL;DR
- Connecting 2.5mm t&e cable to 32A isolator, ok?
