Can you use MMP's (type F) on 3-phase industrial heaters for hydraulic oil tanks? if not, is there a better option?
I cant find any documented info saying yes/no in regards to heaters.
Links for further reading would be greatly appreciated!

Manual Motor Protector: Eaton XTPR016DC1 (website)
Type A = Fuse + motor starter where the fuse provides the SC protection for the entire motor and starter, i.e. the starter MUST have the fuse to withstand any fault current.
Type C = Thermal-magnetic circuit breaker listed under UL-489 protecting a starter listed under UL-508A.
Type D = Instantaneous trip circuit breaker (aka "MCP") listed under UL-489, with starter same as above.
Type E = Self-Protected Control Device (aka Motor Protection Circuit Breaker or "MPCB", "Motor Protective Switch" or "MPS", etc. etc.) used with a contactor, both listed together under UL-508
Type F = Manual Self-Protected Controller listed under UL-508, which is a single device that is the SCPD, controller and OL in one, no contactor.
