Abstract

Based on the safety monitoring requirements of power batteries for new energy commercial vehicles, this study proposes a battery insulation detection method utilizing the bridge method in combination with existing insulation detection techniques. Through optimization and improvement of this methodology, an insulation detection system for new energy commercial vehicle power batteries was developed, along with a dynamic online calculation method for insulation resistance. Comprehensive experimental testing under multiple operational conditions demonstrates that the proposed system achieves a measurement accuracy with errors below 5% for insulation resistance. Furthermore, the system exhibits significant advantages in dynamic real-time monitoring capabilities and operational reliability.
