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.

Ac fan on the inside is not running but outside unit fan is on?

The inside fan blows air through the ac coils to cool the air. It should be on a separate breaker or fuse circuit from the outside unit. See if there is a fuse box on the side of the inside unit and check the breakers in the house main breaker box. Also stand quietly beside the inside unit and listen for the fan motor running. If the motor is heard running then either the fan drive belt has broken, or the ac coils are clogged preventing air from flowing.


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.
