A leakage path is detected when a leakage resistance associated with the leakage path is less than a predetermined resistance. The leakage resistance is ascertained by measuring a voltage within the leakage detection circuit. A location of the leakage path may be determined based on which components are coupled to the voltage bus. | 03-31-2016 |
