Default RCD tripping with mains saw

What MCB would you suggest please?


If it's 2.5mm^2 cable you should be fine with a 20A type B (you already
have type B) but it's possible the saw might still trip it.

What's the total length of cable from CU to garage? Someone might do
the calcs to make sure a type C would be safe ...
