A fuel cell system or HVDC power source includes a fuel cell or DC power source having a high voltage direct current (HVDC) bus including y-capacitors, which connect the HVDC bus terminals to chassis or safety ground, and a fault current discharge compensation circuit interconnected with the HVDC bus. A monitoring circuit monitors a fault discharge current of the Y-cap circuit and generates a fault signal when the fault current occurs based on a rate of change of a voltage of the Y-cap circuit. A switching circuit redirects the majority of the fault discharge current.
