When the power is interrupted and stops the compressor momentarily and rapidly restarts it, there is not enough time for the system pressures to equalize

When power is rapidly reapplied, it tries to start against a high head pressure and can be hard on a compressor. Or the motor start capacitor

SECO could advise people to turn their thermostat up before they swap out the meter to reduce this risk

What did SunKool find?
