In this scheme, the normal DC voltage across each input, IN3 and IN4 is balanced at one half battery voltage. Neither input will be picked up. A ground on the positive DC bus rail will cause the voltage on input IN 4 to collapse to zero, and the voltage on input IN 3 will rise to full battery voltage, causing input IN 3 to assert. Conversely, a ground on the negative …
