A drive controller for a motor of a compressor includes a drive circuit that applies voltages to windings of the motor. The drive controller includes a speed control module that controls the drive circuit to rotate the motor at a requested speed. The drive controller includes a speed determination module that generates the requested speed. The drive controller includes a locked rotor protection module that identifies a locked rotor condition and, in response to identifying the locked rotor condition, instructs the speed determination module to power down the motor. The locked rotor protection module acquires an estimated speed of the motor upon expiration of a predetermined time interval that begins upon startup of the motor. The locked rotor protection module identifies the locked rotor condition in response to the estimated speed being lower than a threshold speed. The threshold speed is based on the requested speed.
