This is symptomatic of a bad compressor. Try testing the motor leads for a
dead short (to each other and ground). There are start and run leads. You
may need a HVAC guy to replace your compressor and recharge the system.
Good idea, I will check motor leads for leaks to ground. (the main
motor leads should read a very low resistance to one another).

I have a central A/C. Around when there was a thunderstorm,
electricity flickered about 2-3 times in our house.
Now our A/C is not working. The inside is all fine, the fan runs etc.
I am doing investigation and will post in this thread, but the breaker
popped and any attempt to reset it pops it again. I tried to measure
amps with my ammeter, it was quite hard to do due to breaker popping
soon, but the highest measure I got was about 200 amps.
I am going to open up the case now to have a quick look, I will be
running back and forth. My hope is that it is something simple like
capacitor shorted, but it easily could be worse (eg motor shorted).
