    Obviously, something is drawing more current than it should. There are many possibilities. The motor bearing may be failing and the motor isn't moving fast enough (though I would think the thermal overload would have kicked out first). There may be an high-resistance internal short somewhere.

    You probably need a repairman.

    Disconnect the lead wires that run from the contactor to the fan motor(after killing the power), turn power back on,does it still kick the breaker? Is the compressor running?
