  • If your air conditioner continues to cause its
    circuit breaker to tripwell, then you have a
    bigger problem. The trouble might be loose wiring
    in the electrical panel, or it could come from
    something wrong with the AC itself.

Dirty Outdoor Coils
  • The condenser coils in the outdoor cabinet will
    struggle to release enough heat to the outside of
    the house if they have a layer of dirt and grime
    over them. This will increase the heat inside the
    air conditioning system, forcing it to work
    harder. The rise in the draw on the electrical
    system can lead to a tripped circuit breaker.

Shorted-out motors
  • Motors are responsible for running the fans and
    the compressor in the AC. Like any motor, they
    can overheat and melt the insulation along their
    wires. The motor will short out, tripping a
    circuit breaker to prevent an electrical
    fire. Repair technicians will need to replace the
    shorted-out motor.

5
Hard-starting compressor
  • A compressor is said to be hard-starting if it
    starts requiring too much electrical power to
    overcome pressure at the start of its cooling
    cycle. The drain on amps can trip the circuit
    breaker. 
  • To overcome this problem, technicians will attach
    a hard-start kit to the compressor that delivers
    the necessary extra electrical power when it
    starts.
