Charge equalization apparatus with parallel connection of secondary windings of multiple transformers

Abstract

The present invention relates, in general, to a charge equalization apparatus with series-connected battery cells and, more particularly, to a charge equalization apparatus, in which series-connected battery cells (Bl to BN) are connected in parallel with the primary windings (Mi l to MlN) of transformers (Tl to TN), switches (Sl to SN) for controlling the flow of current of the primary windings are connected in series with the primary windings (Ml 1 to MlN), and multiple secondary windings (M21 to M2N) corresponding to the primary windings are connected in parallel with each other.
