  "textContent": "Methods and systems detect short circuits in an electrical system (104), such as a dynamic braking grid of a vehicle. The methods and system measure a characteristic of a current that is conducted through one or more resistive elements (202) of an electrical system (104). The current is supplied to the electrical system (104) from a power source (102) as an applied voltage. A resistance change signal representative of a change in one or more electrical resistances of the one or more resistive elements (202) is determined. The resistance change signal can be based at least in part on a difference between the characteristic of the current that is measured and a low pass filtered value of one or more of the characteristic of the current that is measured or the applied voltage supplied by the power source (102). A short circuit event is identified based at least in part on the resistance change signal.",
