I would look first at 440.32, then see 440.6 (A) & (B), & Tables 310.16-19 or 310.15.

No, I'd use the dataplate on the condensing unit, and not worry too much about the compressor itself. It's too hard to see that dataplate anyhow.

Use the nameplate ... or the aspects of it being "a" device, address accordingly, it's not a summary call.
