An isolator had heat damage and was replaced, not by me, but the new isolator is 125A instead of 40A. They found one and threw it on.
I locked it off last night and today it is back on line, deemed okay to run until a replacement arrives.
This is on a 20yo piece of packaging equipment.
Anyone shed some light on the safety implications on this please.
First post. Apologies if in wrong place.

If its just an isolator it makes no difference at all.
