SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING VOLTAGE AND / OR CURRENT DURING THE CHARGING OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

Abstract

This instruction relates to a method and system for charging a rechargeable battery deployed in an electrical appliance. The system resides within the electrical appliance. The system comprises a motor, an inverter, an output rectifier, a configurator, and a controller. The motor comprises a stator having a plurality of stator teeth and a plurality of stator windings wound on the plurality of stator teeth. The inverter comprises a plurality of energy switching devices. The configurator has contactors coupled to the plurality of stator windings and the plurality of energy switching devices.The controller controls the plurality of power switching devices and the plurality of contactors, configuring the system to operate in one of a traction mode and a load mode, where in the load mode voltage and / or current regulation occurs using the plurality of power switching devices.
