I have a equipment with a FLA of 26 A. The equipment itself comes with a 35 thermal magnetic breaker. I am assuming the manufacturer put the 35A considering 125%.

On the other hand, upstream, I have a breaker (located in a distribution panel board) feeding the equipment of 30 A. Per NEC Should I replace this breaker to a minimum of 35 A?

Thanks for your help
