The cable you linked to is 27 amp cable. Then you mention 230 volts 200 volt amps which is less than 2 amps? This makes no sense that I can see. Why are you linking to 27 amp cable for a 200 volt amp transformer? As to an IEC type connector you do not mention which one? You also do not mention IEC inlet of outlet, not that it matters. I suggest you start by reading this link and note the current ratings. I am sure some of the connectors will look very familiar to you. You certainly do not need 27 amp cable for any IEC connector type. You are talking about a few amps.

Definitely not!

That wire is intended for 12/24v systems in cars etc.
The insulation will not be rated for 240v.

Use some 6amp mains cable.
