Well Wait a minute. Is the compressor already running at the 7-10 min point or has it cycled off (normal) and is it tripping when it restarts (Fan on all the time, compressor cycling). These are two vastly different conditions, and knowing which will probably provide the correct answer.
The Hard start kit will probably work if it is at compressor startup once it has run already, so long as the delay is correct. If it is tripping when the compressor is already running, then there is an issue with the steady current draw and the curve of the breaker, and probably some wiring issues.
Perhaps the contactor is flakey and intermittently dropping out, with the compressor trying to restart too soon...
The OP is not complaining, he is asking for someone with the same setup to chime in. Unfortunately it may be a rare combination so I am trying to help a bit here.
Why these asshats who manufacture these things don't start making Inverter style units is beyond me...
