Hi there, I've got a 3 phase compressor and a small 8500W single and 3 phase generator. My compressor has a large 32amp plug on it but my generator only has a 16amp socket so my question being can I swap the 32amp plug to a 16amp plug?
Sorry if this is a daft question.
Thanks guys 🙂

Hi there

Hi,
I'm visiting an outdoor event at a camp site which has a 16amp supply. My catering unit draws about 30amps - max. 32amps. Is it possible to get a cable that plugs in to 2 x 16amp supplies that will give me 32 amps? The 16 amp connectors are right next to each other.
