    Abstract: A system and method includes a power supply that generates an alternating current power for powering a compressor with a capacitor, a voltage sensor that measures voltage values based on the alternating current power, a current sensor that measures current values based on the alternating current power, and a controller. The controller communicates with the voltage sensor and the current sensor, determines a power factor value based on at least one of the voltage values and at least one of the current values, and determines a fault in the capacitor based on the power factor and at least one of the current values.

    Abstract: A heat-pump circuit may include an indoor heat exchanger, an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor adapted to circulate a working fluid between the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers, and an expansion device disposed between the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. A monitor for the heat-pump system may include a return-air temperature sensor, a supply-air temperature sensor, and a processor. The return-air temperature sensor may be adapted to measure a first air temperature of air upstream of the indoor heat exchanger. The supply-air temperature sensor may be adapted to measure a second air temperature of air downstream of the indoor heat exchanger. The processor may be in communication with the return-air temperature sensor and the supply- air temperature sensor. The processor may be programmed to determine a working-fluid-charge condition of the heat-pump system based on the first and second air temperatures.
