This paper analyzed the suitability about the isolation performance criteria which was based on human impedance and effect of current in IEC 60479-1 on the safety of human being was examined. The method of evaluation by megger and DC voltmeter was analyzed. The differences of isolation performance according to design of high-voltage system were analyzed. The factors which affect the insulation performance were analyzed for HFCV, EV, HEV, etc. through analysis of the isolation performance evaluation method. Finally, design for improved isolation performance was proposed.
