my reason for asking about a crankcase heater is that the heater is used to keep the oil that travels with the freon, fluid. if the oil is sluggish then the compressor overload may trip. If it's setup as an automatic reset the when it trips and cools down, it will restart and trip out again, which will account for your short cycling. a scroll compressor is a helical gear type of compressor.
