Insulation monitoring unit (IMU)

As hybrid and electric vehicles gain in importance, batteries must be able to store electrical energy and provide sufficient quantities of energy to operate the electric drives.

The insulation monitoring unit monitors the insulation resistance of the high voltage vehicle electrical system and provides effective protection against electric shock.

As a partner for the development of the new insulation monitor, HELLA was able to engage Bender, a company that has been working on electrical insulation monitoring systems for over 65 years and is generally considered to be the world leader in this field.
