Charging 530e @ 22kW

Hi,

according to this site the 530 supports up to 22kW charging.

The three levels: 3.7kW, 11kW, and 22kW should correspond to the Low, Reduced, and Maximum levels we can choose, as shown here.

However, looking for cables, I've noticed that the 22kW cables are 3-phase, 32A. So the obvious questions are:

1. Can I charge the car from a 32A source?
2. What happens if I connect the 32A cable to a 3.7/11kW 16A source?

Sorry if these questions don't make sense, but I know little to nothing about electrical systems

The cable I'm thinking of is this one: http://www.windandsun.co.uk/products...harging-Cables

And here it's the spec sheet of the cable: https://www.micromatic.no/globalasse...2016.08.03.pdf
