This is a reference design for detecting ground fault in inverter-based drives. Inverter current is measured on both DC-positive and DC-negative bus using shunt resistors. INA149 current sense amplifier having a common-mode voltage range of +275 V is used to measure current on DC-positive bus. Current on DC-negative bus is sensed using precision operational amplifiers. The difference between the two measured currents is compared against a fixed threshold to determine the ground fault condition using high-speed comparators.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
