  • Publication number: 20180037124
    Abstract: An electric vehicle (EV) parallel charging method may comprise determining whether a parallel charging input is detected or not, the parallel charging input being an input that both a conductive charging input and an inductive charging input are sensed; in response to determining that the parallel charging input is detected, comparing a power of the conductive charging input with a power of the inductive charging input; selecting an input applied to a high-voltage battery and an input applied to at least one of an auxiliary battery and a load based on a result of the comparison; and performing a parallel charging operation for the high-voltage battery and at least one of the auxiliary battery and the load by using powers supplied from the selected inputs.

  • Patent number: 9541608
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring an insulation resistance that may calculate each of a cathode terminal-side insulation resistance value and an anode terminal-side insulation resistance value of a battery. The apparatus for measuring an insulation resistance according to the present disclosure forms different first and second circuits by selectively connecting an insulation resistance measurement unit to a cathode terminal or an anode terminal of the battery, and calculates a cathode terminal-side insulation resistance value and an anode terminal-side insulation resistance value from first and second insulation detection voltages applied to the insulation resistance measurement unit and simultaneous circuit equations derived from the first and the second circuits. Accordingly, quantitative insulation resistance values of the cathode terminal and the anode terminal of the battery may be each obtained.

  • Patent number: 9024769
    Abstract: Disclosed is an isolation resistance measuring apparatus having a fault self-diagnosing function and a fault self-diagnosing method using the same. The isolation resistance measuring apparatus having a fault self-diagnosing function detects whether a fault arises at the isolation resistance measuring apparatus by using first and second isolation detection voltages detected in a state where a diagnosing unit is not connected (an isolation resistance measuring mode) and first and second diagnosis detection voltages detected in a state where the diagnosing unit is connected (a fault self-diagnosing mode). By doing so, it is possible to self-diagnose a fault by using an original function of the isolation resistance measuring apparatus which may measure an isolation resistance.
