How do you test a compressor?
To test a compressor if locked up read the tag on compressor for locked rotor amps, then bypass safety therm-o-switch found under protective black cover on compressor, and with a clamp-on amp meter momentarily run compressor to check amperage.
How do you measure compressor lock rotor amps?
Compressor locked rotor amps are measured with an amp-probe or clip on ampmeter. Lock rotor amps are amps with the rotor not turning/moving, and the winding at ambient temperature. locked rotor amps are X4.5 to X5 times the FLA of motor name plate.

What is locked rotor?
Locked rotor current is the amount of current a motor would draw if you energize the motor and the rotor (the spinning shaft) doesn't spin.
Why would outside condenser be making an intermittent roaring noise?
The compressor may have a locked rotor in the condenser causing the loud roaring noise. Another possibility is low refrigerant.
What is LRA of a motor?
Locked rotor ampere
What is a locked rotor?
A rotor that doesn't move. Usually manually activated or automatically activated.
What capacity in kva diesel generator is required to run a 3 phase 20hp compressor?
A 20 hp piston motor compressor at 208/230v appx. 50 amp running, and 100 amp locked rotor current, requiring 70 amp heaters. A rotary screw will demand apprx. 20% greater locked rotor, but about the same running, and perhaps 80 amp heaters. Halve most all for 460/480v. A 12 - 15kva generator should suffice. If the budget will sustain, go for a 25kva.
What would you asses for when checking rotor bearing?
Mooning.
What is LRPDV?
LRPDV is Locked Rotor Pull-down Voltage.
Screw rotary compressor definition?
A positive displacement compressor consisting of one male and one female rotor which contain lobes that when meshed together reduce the amount of available space for the refrigerant gas to occupy, thus compressing it. The male rotor is usually the drive rotor.
