Unless you want the power off or there is an overload condition that caused the breaker to trip.

Would replacing an old 15 amp breaker stop the air conditioner and fan from throwing the breaker?
What size is the AC? Look at the power consumption rating of the AC unit; if it pulls anything close to 15 amps, a new breaker will not solve your problem. There should be an information panel that shows the current draw of the AC. If the AC pulls more than the breaker can handle, you need to re-wire the outlet for the AC. You can't safely just replace the breaker with a larger one since that would result in a fire hazard.
Is a 40 amp circuit breaker ok for a 30 amp air conditioner?
Yes. You should use 8 AWG wire from breaker to AC unit.
Main breaker overheating when ac is on?
Problem with ac drawing to much current.
What is the wire size for 50 amp breaker to ac unit?
6millimeter square.
Can a 40 amp breaker not a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?
Depends on the size of the wire going to the A/C. If the wire is AWG #10 you cannot install a 40 amp breaker. If the wire is AWG #8 you can.
Where is the ac circuit breaker?
It's in the basement. Turn on the light switch behind the dryer, walk past the furnace, stay to the left of the water heater, and you'll eventually see the breaker box on the wall in front of you. For heaven's sake, do be careful.

Want a wiring diagram from ac condenser to furnace?
I think you mean from the furnace to the ac unit as the ac unit does not power anything, so here is the low voltage wiring schematic from furnace to ac unit.

Do you have to purchase a new furnace to get central AC or can central AC be added with an existing furnace using the existing duct work?
My parents did it with existing ductwork.
How do you check the breaker on the outside ac unit?
Even though the A/C unit is outside, the breaker for it will be in the entrance panel box inside your home. It should be clearly marked.
Heat pump Or gas furnace and AC unit which system to install?
Your location matters. If in Florida heat pump in more northern climes furnace & ac.
Main breaker overheating when ac is on?
Problem with ac drawing to much current.
Can a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?
NO!
How do you know if the AC breaker matches the AC unit starting demand load?
Read the literature for the ac condensing unit, or the tag on the outside of the unit. Minimum circuit ampacity= minimum breaker, wire and fuse size. Maximum circuit ampacity= the maximum size. Your circuit breaker, wire size and disconnect fuses should all be at or between those 2 numbers.
Do AC units have a breaker inside the unit?
No
What happens if you use an ac circuit breaker instead of dc breaker?
A circuit breaker is easier to design for ac than dc because alternating current (ac) naturally goes to zero 100 or 120 times per second and this helps to extinguish any arc. Therefore an ac circuit breaker would not be suitable for dc assuming the same voltage and current ratings.
