in any refrigeration unit when the system shuts down, the system pressure equalizes, this actually forces the compressor to spin backwards slightly. When you energize the windings to rotate the crankshaft of the compressor against this brake the compressor will be stalled and your rush amp pull will be stupidly high.
In a car compressor there is no windings to care about, there is a positive mechanical motive spinning the compressor crankshaft/rotor
