CB into CB

[teamGAL]

We are installing circuits so that we can operate our steam cleaner. this has a 27kw load.
At the moment we have a 32amp type c CB feeding into a transformer that provides 110v into four two-pole 16amp type c CB's. We want to change the four two-pole CB's into 2 two-pole 32amp type c CB's. is this possible/legal? Many thanks

That is some circuit breaker 32 amps supplying a 27kw load, even on 3 phase .................

Is this 3 phase or a wind up?

so you want to put 250A through 2 32A MCBs. at least the MCBs will melt before the cable does.

It's the new welded copper pipe type CB mate .............I hear they are pretty reliable I'll see if I can dig you out some reference data on them.
