You need a 20A feeding the Spike and a 20A installed in the Spike. It is not an issue of getting caught by your inspectors. It is a safety issue. The Spike is only rated at 20A.

instead of using a bigger CB, investigate why it is tripping. You have a shorted wire or a bad compressor. It needs to be fixed.
