Magnetic Interference in Multi-Pickup Monorail Inductively Coupled Power Transfer Systems

摘要

This paper examines magnetic interference in a selection of differently shaped ICPT pickups. Two distinct trends in the results of Finite Element Method analysis were observed as the magnetic interference had either a positive or negative effect on the total power output. The paper presents a new shape of pickup with high power output that takes advantage of the positive proximity effect. Also presented are results of the study and power to volume ratios which are one of the metrics used in the design process.
