> If you try to restart rotary compressors too quickly after stopping, the high head pressure will stall the motor. This causes it to effectively be a dead short minus winding resistance, pulling much more current than average (known as LRA or locked rotor amps)
Inverter based heat pumps and ACs that are already available on the market today have low LRAs as a consequence of their ability to operate at continuously variable speeds.
