CHARGE EQUALIZATION APPARATUS WITH PARALLEL CONNECTION OF PRIMARY WINDINGS OF MULTIPLE TRANSFORMERS

摘要

The present invention relates, in general, to a charge equalization apparatus for batteries and, more particularly, to a charge equalization apparatus, in which the primary windings (M11 to M1N) of a number of transformers (T1 to TN) corresponding to the number of battery cells are connected in parallel with each other, a switch (S) for controlling the flow of current of the primary windings (M11 to M1N) of the parallel-connected transformers is connected in series with the parallel-connected primary windings, respective secondary windings (M21 to M2N) corresponding to the primary windings are connected in parallel with the battery cells, and the battery cells are connected in series with each other.
