ABSTRACT:
A method and control system for protecting an electric motor driven compressor in a refrigeration system are disclosed. The refrigeration system operates to satisfy a load placed on the system and the refrigeration system compressor is turned off when the load is satisfied and the refrigeration system is providing excess capacity. When the compressor is turned off due to excess capacity, current flow to the electric motor driving the compressor is sensed and the refrigeration system is shut down if the sensed current flow is abnormal. In this manner, the compressor and the electric motor driving the compressor are protected against restarting under unfavorable operating conditions which could unduly wear the compressor motor and/or the compressor.
