Literally they had one job. This has a schuko plug sized receptacle but with Italian plug size holes. So it can convert from Italian 10A plug to Italian 10A plug… really useful…
Producing who know how many millions of useless converters and shipping them in a different continent without trying them or even reading the specs…
Oh god no. It’s not about feeding in 16A, it’s about consuming 16A thereby overloading the wiring. If everything else is OK, trying to consume 16A should trip the fuse, still - if that doesn’t work, you’ll get a certain (normally very small) fire risk.
Okay, fair point, but that’s the same issue as connecting muliple consumers to the same wall outlet via an extension cord / multisocket.
