It is called a fusite plug (notice the fuse part of the word) and designed to blow out in a fire at a high temp or pressure so the compressor does not explode. Stay away from it with any torch. Do NOT jar it or get rough with it or it could explode in your face.

carefully, closely with a magnifying glass look at the top of the compressor. there should be a plate there with numbers stamped on it. usually has the amperage in there. cond fan takes very little amps so the reading of the comp should be close enough.
