Am using 277v 10w/per ft heat trace protected by a 30ampere OCPD.

We are keeping footages down to only have expected current draw around 14amperes to play it safe for cold start up tempatures.

Question is can I use this 22amp rated thermostat on a 30amp protected circuit just like we do with 15amp light switches on 20amp circuits?
