Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems have receieved considerable interest for promoting the sale of electric vehicles (EVs). In order to increase the use of WPT systems, electromagnetic field (EMF) leakage should be evaluated at neighborhood and faraway points. Generally, these are measured in the shield room. However, systems that use many coils and cores require very large shield rooms, and accurate measurements are difficult to obtain. In this study, we investigate the coil scaling law to simplify EMF evaluation. Satisfied conditions that enable an equivalent evaluation between full-scale coils and mini-scale ones are derived. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated using by simulations and experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
