Abstract
The noncontact electricity transmission method for supplying electricity to an electrical apparatus is based on Faraday’s law and is a recent (<20 years old) development in the field of household appliances. The inductive coupling method is based on electromagnetic induction and was developed by M. Faraday in 1831. A recent application of the technology is the wireless power transfer (WPT) system. Based on the current energy situation, interest in electric vehicles (EVs) has increased, and WPT has attracted attention as a next-generation technology for charging of EV batteries. The noncontact electricity transmission technique has also attracted attention for medical applications. This chapter explains the basic characteristics of WPT systems and the basic theory of inductive coupling [1-7].
