    10, 30 and 100mA seem to be the common RCBO's. You could put a 10mA on the kit, but you would probably get it blowing all the time. If you have carbon build up in the motor you can get a trip from the back-emf leaking to earth, so it wouldn't hurt to blow out the motor, assuming it is the brushed type. Else you might have damp dust in the electrics somewhere, so again a clean out with compressed air could help.

    Happy New Year
