Voltage boosted fault clearing in electrical systems

A power supply system to provide power to a load connected between first and second connectors, the system comprising:

• a power source that produces a power output;
• a power converter configured to receive the generator output, convert it into a direct current (DC) output and provide the direct current output between the first and second connectors;
• a filter connected to the rectifier and between the connectors configured to smooth the DC output;
• and
• a first fault clearing source connected to the first connector configured to provide a first clearing voltage to the first connector when a first ground fault occurs on the first connector, wherein the first clearing voltage increases over time;
• and
• a second fault clearing source connected to the second connector configured to provide a second clearing voltage to the second connector when a ground fault occurs on the second connector;
• wherein at least one of the first and second clearing voltages increases over time.
