Isolation monitoring device and method
Abstract:
Wide deployment of high voltage battery systems in traction, industrial and renewable energy installations is raising the concerns for human safety. Exposure to hazardous high voltages may occur due to deterioration of insulation materials or by accidental events. It is thus important to monitor for such faults and being able to provide timely warnings to affected persons. For this purpose it has become mandatory for electrified passenger vehicles (CFR 571.305) to maintain high isolation values which can be continuously monitored by electrical isolation monitoring devices. The task of monitoring isolation resistance within the electrically noisy car environment is not a trivial task and the solution to this problem has become quickly a field of research and innovation for all affected industries.
