Eeeek no. I don't know the amperage support on these things, i don't see it on that page, its probably low and i would expect the adapter to melt.

You need to get a heavy gauge cable with the plug you need C19 to whatever your plug is at home. Or an adapter rated 18AMP for 110-125V if you're on 125V.

Yes they both say 16amps. They might get a bit warm if you run the PSU on 120v at full load however.

1.5mm conductors should be plenty even at 120v.
