I'll echo what Seadog said, If you're not comfortable working around electrical devices, you may be better off getting someone experienced to look at it. That capacitor can bite you pretty hard if not handled correctly.
I also agree that it's probably the capacitor and maybe the compressor.
If you set the thermostat for just fan, does the breaker trip?
If you feel confident in doing it, you can replace the capacitor to see if that helps. They're pretty cheap. You just need to match the numbers off the old unit.
