Ron,
I am going to ask some specific question to help narrow down the culprit.
Trips on high indicates Compressor 2.
Does it trip immediately when going to high, or does it happen a minute or so after going to high?
Here is the reason for the question, if it trips immediately then the compressor is likely shorted to it’s case indicating burned out windings. It it trips after running for a minute or so, make sure that both the inside and outside fans are running. Either of the fans not running will result in high head pressure causing a trip in the thermals or the breaker.
If you watch the ammeters in the power panel, what do you see when the No. 2 compressors comes on?
