Zusammenfassung:A ground fault detection system is provided. The ground fault detection system includes a magnetic core (62) having first and second primary legs (64, 66) and a secondary leg (68) disposed between the first and second primary legs (64, 66). The ground fault detection system also includes first and second primary windings (36, 38) disposed around the first and second primary legs (64, 66) respectively and configured to introduce current in the first and second primary legs (64, 66). Further, the ground fault detection system includes first and second secondary windings (40, 42) disposed around the first and second primary legs (64, 66) respectively and configured to detect a ground fault based upon a magnetic flux generated in response to the introduced current.
