Abstract

A system for maintaining insulation resistance of a fuel cell includes a fuel cell stack, a coolant line that allows coolant to pass through the fuel cell stack, a circulation pump that circulates the coolant in the coolant line, a deionizer that removes impurities or ions from the coolant in the coolant line, and a controller configured to measure the insulation resistance of a high-voltage terminal connected to the fuel cell stack, to determine whether recovery control is necessary based on the measured insulation resistance, and upon determining that recovery control is necessary, to control the circulation pump so as to change the flow of the coolant passing through the deionizer.
