Default air conditioner circuit breaker trips

I live in Dallas and the weather has been very nice until today. Today I
decided to use the central A/C, the unit ran without incident for maybe 20
minutes than the circuit breaker tripped. I reset the breaker and 10 minutes
later again the circuit breaker tripped (The a/c was cold before the breaker
tripped and returned cold after I flipped the breaker). What is going on
here?

I believe I have a heat pump unit (you know the one that gets cold but not
as cold as someone with a regular unit). Thanks in advance.


Is the fan running on your outdoor condenser unit when you have the air
on and the breaker is not tripped? Is it cool air at the indoor air
vents when the AC is running? Had any storms around lately?
