Keeps tripping turning off
Put new compressor
New compositor
New breaker
Still making a horrible knocking sounds n then trips 
Call the service co. who replaced compressor . they ether got a defective one or never replaced yours . (compressor is a motor and a pump sealed in a metal can suspended in oil on springs ) apparently yours has a broken one or more springs .allowing electrical field windings of the motor to come in contact with the case shorting out your breaker. solution new compressor!
SOURCE: breaker keeps tripping
If the breaker itself is more than 15 years old, replace it. If it continues to switch off, check the amp draw of both the inside and outside unit.
SOURCE: air conditioner keeps tripping breaker
Every air conditioner has a motor called a compressor. The compressor provides the cooling capacity for the air conditioner. If the compressor or its electrical controls are defective the compressor may try to start, fail, and create an electrical overload. If the unit does create an overload, every compressor circuit is also equipped with an overload safety switch. The safety switch is designed to protect the compressor from burning out. The safety switch will cut the power to the compressor for a certain length of time and then reset itself. When it resets it will allow the electricity to flow to the compressor once again. If the compressor then starts, the unit should function normally. If the compressor doesn't start when the overload resets, the overload will again cut the electricity to the compressor. This cycle will continue indefinitely. (Always allow three to five minutes before restarting the compressor.) If this situation is occurring, unplug the air conditioner and get help from a qualified repair technician. This problem is often fatal to the air conditioner because the cost of repair often exceeds the price of a new air conditioner.
if this helps please vote me a fix ya
SOURCE: a/c is drawing 20 amps and keeps tripping breaker after running
If the fan is running and the compressor is getting hot and tripping off you may have a failed capacitor.
SOURCE: AC Runs for about 10 minute then trips breaker
is your breaker is ok or lose concation is good.if this both is good than cheek his overload.
SOURCE: Air conditioner shuts off and trips breaker on power cord
It sounds like a short or ground in the compressor. If you have an ohmmeter, unplug the unit and use the meter to check the wires to the compressor. Connect 1 meter lead to the compressor case then to the wires coming from the compressor 1 at a time. If none are grounded then connect 1 meter lead to the Com. Then connect the other lead first to the run wire, then to the start wire reading the resistance each time. neither should be less than 1. You can also check the condenser fan.
