1500watts at the wallplug is going to make a hot cable.  I've met domestic
wiring which shat itself on a 3 bar heater..

That's 1500W for the 96 processor machine. If you're going to make a
commitment to acquire that much processing power, surely you can make a
commitment to installing a 30 amp circuit. If it's in a house, use one phase
of an electric dryer circuit (and try to remember not to run the dryer and
the computer at the same time.)
