At what frequency is this N power rating?    The voltage rating for an 
Amphenol N connector is 1500 volts and for a UHF connector it is 500 volts.

Unless someone is running at least 3x the legal limit, I doubt any
amateur running legal amateur power levels will have any problem with
either an N connector or PL259. Andrew N connectors can actually
handle up to 10kW (peak) according to the spec sheets.
