SOURCE: Ground Fault circuit Breaker trips each time a load is applied
The most likely causes in their order of probability are: 1) water somewhere in the circuit causing the hot wire to ground; 2) a legitimate trip caused by a defect in a device plugged into the circuit; and 3) a defective GFCI breaker. In the first case, wait until it has been dry for about a week and see if it trips. In the second case, make sure there is nothing plugged into the circuit and try resetting. In the third case go ahead and put the regular breaker in, then put a GFCI outlet into the first box downstream from the breaker. If installed according to the directions, that outlet should protect all of the outlets downstream.

Assuming the motor is OK start with a small fuse and if it blows try a bigger one. However the job of a fuse is not to protect the load (motor) but the wire that it is connected to. Be sure the wire size supports the fuse you use, if not you could have a fire. The information can be looked up on the web.
Good Luck,

Probably the breaker is too small for the circuit ...and the first value is the one that needs to be bigger cause the amperage is the one that determine the tension and that the switch of when something gets over this value ..I suggest to go to the store and ask for the maximum amperage available ..cause probably you have other high amperage devices also in the house (like a washing machine ) and this is kinda small..

here you can make an idea that the 10 A is about the smallest ...and to see what you can use...I suggest something above 20 ...
