Abstract
A ground fault detection system for a power system having a DC link, a battery bank, a link capacitor unit connected to the DC link, and plural power converters connected to the DC link. The power converters convert first DC power from the DC link to at least one of AC power or second DC power for powering at least one electrical load. A control unit disconnects the battery bank from the DC link responsive to detection of a ground fault, to deactivate operation of the power converters, and to sequentially at least partially activate, with power from the link capacitor unit, each of the power converters individually until a sensed voltage signal of the DC link is indicative of the ground fault being associated with one of the power converters.
