Inductive power transfer system with ac-ac converter and two-way power transmission ability

摘要

Disclosed is an inductive power transfer (IPT) system. The system is comprised of a primary conductive path and an AC-AC full-bridge converter. The primary conductive path is adapted to provide a magnetic field for reception by a pick-up device. The AC-AC full-bridge converter is provided between the primary conductive path and an alternating current power supply to provide a controlled current to the primary conductive path for provision of the magnetic field.
