Abstract

A system and method including a compressor operable in a refrigeration circuit and including a motor, a current sensor detecting current drawn by the motor and providing a high-side condition signal, a discharge line temperature sensor detecting a discharge line temperature of the compressor and providing a low-side condition signal, and processing circuitry processing the high-side condition signal and the low-side condition signal during installation of the compressor to initially configure the compressor based on a non-measured condition of the refrigeration circuit.
