Mabe your compressor is not kicking on for some reason. Check to see if the front of your compressor starts spinning when you turn it on. If it don't check to see if there is power to the wires that go to your compressor. If there is power you have a bad compressor. If there is not check the fuses or relays.

Does the three wire live neutral and earth that run from the aircond unit to the compressor carry current?

All of the 3 wires connected to the compressor motor terminals will carry current while it is running. Depending on the method the mfr uses to cycle the compressor (breaking one or both power legs) some of the wires may remain `Hot` while it is off. A wiring diagram specific to the unit in question will answer that. By earth I assume you mean the ground or green wire, that wire is never intentionally powered.
