A method for operating an electrical power system includes disabling bridge switching of one of the rotor-side converter or line-side converter. The method further includes gating on the dynamic brake after the disabling occurs, comparing a power converter input variable to a primary predetermined variable threshold, and forcing the gated-on dynamic brake to a 100 percent duty cycle when the power converter input variable exceeds the primary predetermined variable threshold.
