Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a fuel cell having conductive coolant flowing there through and a high voltage direct current (HVDC) bus interconnected with the fuel cell. An active isolation circuit includes coolant fault current sensors that detect a fault current (also called residual current) in the coolant and generates a fault signal when the fault current is detected. A switching circuit compensates and redirects the fault current based on the fault signal, providing active fault current limitation thereby.
