Jer H, did you ever find out what was tripping the breaker? I have same exact problem with my HP50a and no error codes.

Welcome to TFP.

You are not going to get any error codes on a breaker trip.

If you are not comfortable with electrical work you need an HVAC service to check the amps it draws and the compressor motor. It is a good chance the compressor motor needs its capacitor replaced.

Mine turns on for about 10 minutes then the breaker trips (other times it trips as soon as it begins to heat). Does this rule out a faulty capacitor?

No.
