We spent a week in the southern KY heat and humidity last week and had some A/C troubles, luckily not until our last day though. The unit will come on like normal with both fan and compressor runni...

It is not the voltage when the compressor is running.
It is the voltage when the compressor motor needs a jock strap trying to start against high head pressure.
Therefore what is "that" voltage, then.
This is a comment dealing with voltage and motors not dealing with how the AC works. Douggrainer is absolutely right on the button - my comment deals with when to measure voltage (on motor starting).
Many high BTU commercial and all motor vehicle A/C compressors use magnetic clutches. Other than cheapskating the roof air whats the harm in letting the motor spin-up before engaging a magnetic clutch? This allows the condenser and evaporator fan to spin up before the compressor load is applied.
