    16 amp connection into a 32 amp
    I have a single phase 230 v, 32 amp source which would be then connected to 32 amp power distribution units within few cabinets. To these distribution units various devices ranging from 10 to 13 amps would be connected.

    Would there be any issue in this connection?

    Will need to use a fusible spur connection to hold the 16 amp fuses to protect this spur.

    Thank you for your response. Enclosing a setup pdf on the connection I am talking about. I am being told that these would not be a problem, however would appreciate your views further

    To help understand, Could you elaborate why the spur is required and how the spur is made up.

    What would be the issue if the spur is not available
