What is the purpose of the internal overload protector in the compressor motor?
No
Why is there a delay in re-starting a compressor that has kicked off an internal overload?
an internal overload is based off of heat.High heat=overload opens.Heat has to dissapate and motor cool to safe temp before internal contacts will close.
Why is there a delay in a compressor that has kicked off due to an internal overload?
Sequencer is out of sequence
Why does the compressor keep turning off in your air conditioner?
More than likely it's the internal overload on the compressor kicking it out.

What is the cause of the compressor if not trip to its overload?

If a suction side valve is damaged what will happen?
You will lose capacity and efficiency. The compressor may also run HOT and cycle on its internal overload protection device.
What should you do if your residential AC outside unit fan will come on and the compressor will only come on for a second and then shut off and the unit is not throwing a breaker?
Call an HVAC repairman. You're probably low on freon and a protection system is keeping the compressor from burning up. Sounds like to me it is a protection device. Probably an internal overload on the compressor. Have you checked the outside coils they may be blocked with dirt? This would cause the compressor to go out on overload.
What terminals combinations would show an open circuit if the internal overload device in a hermetic compressor should open due to excessive heat?
common to start and common to run
Why should you never front seat the discharge service valve while a compressor is running?
This will cause the head pressure to climb very high and if something doesn't explode or cut out on a high pressure safety, you and the equipment will be damaged. Hopefully compressor will be one with internal or external overload. To summarize DONT DO IT WHILE COMPRESSOR IS RUNNING.

Is it safe to use the unit even if your compressor is over heat?
Compressors have a thermal overload built inside that will shut down the compressor if the conditions are critical.
