Abstract
Methods and systems of suppressing ground faults. One system includes a power center including a transformer and a ground fault relay. The system also includes a first motor electrically connected to the power center. The system also includes a first variable speed drive connected to the first motor. The first variable speed drive is configured to vary the speed of the first motor. The system also includes a first common mode choke connected in a series-type connection between the power center and the first variable speed drive. The first common mode choke is configured to suppress a ground current induced by the first variable speed drive.
