Abstract

This paper aims to identify the difference between foreign object (FO) and misalignment in terms of their influence on inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. This is performed through magnetic and equivalent circuit analysis of the mutual inductance, primary input impedance, charging pad terminal impedance and current harmonics. Experiment measurements on an IPT prototype are carried out to verify the analysis. It is found that: the charging pad terminal impedance under FO condition has a more pronounced decrement than that of misalignment; the mutual inductance under FO condition shows negative correlation with frequency, while positive for misalignment; the absolute value of the input impedance is decreased by FO and increased by misalignment; the influence of FO and misalignment on the THD of the input current is minimal. Finally, it is possible to detect FO and distinguish it from misalignment, through the variation of the primary pad terminal inductance, as well as the frequency dependence of the primary input impedance and the mutual inductance.
