A system and method of capacitance management in an agricultural vehicle and connected implement, wherein the vehicle and implement have a plurality of electric drives connected to a common connection and connectable to a direct current supply, and each electric drive has an associated Y capacitor between each direct current supply connection and the common connection, wherein the method includes receiving and summing capacitance values for each of the electric drives and comparing with a stored threshold value. If the threshold value is exceeded, a sequence of selective disconnections of individual electric drives is performed until the sum of the received capacitance values is less than or equal to the threshold value. The method may be performed manually, or automatically based on a sequence defined in a priority list until the sum of the received capacitance values is less than or equal to the threshold value.
A system of an agricultural vehicle and a connected implement, wherein the vehicle and the implement each have a plurality of electric drives wherein each drive is electrically connected to a common connection of the system and electrically connectable to a direct current supply of the system, and having an associated Y capacitor between a connection to the direct current supply and the common connection, the system further comprising an electronic controller and a data store holding a threshold value, wherein the controller is configured to receive capacitance values from each of the electric drives, sum the received capacitance values, compare the sum with the threshold value and, when the threshold value is exceeded, perform a predetermined action,
