GROUND OVERCURRENT CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USING SAME

A ground overcurrent control system includes ground circuit with a first section and a second section. The first section is electrically connected to a ground member of an electrical connector and thesecond section is electrically connected to a ground reference. A switch element is positioned between the first section of the ground circuit and the second section of the ground circuit. A controller is configured to determine the current within the ground circuit while current is passing through the switch element and, upon the current exceeding a current threshold, the switch element is modified to an open condition. Upon determining that the voltage between the first section of the ground circuit and the ground reference is less than a voltage threshold, a command is generated to modifythe switch element back to a closed condition. 种接地过流控制系统包括具有第段和第二段的接地电路。所述第段电连接于电连接器的接地件且所述第二段电连接于接地基准。开关元件位于接地电路的第段与接地电路的第二段之间。控制器设置成确定当电流流经开关元件接地电路内的电流，在电流超过电流阈值时，开关元件被修改至打开位置。在确定接地电路的第段与接地基准之间的电压小于电压阈值的情况下，产生命令以将开关元件修改回闭合状态
