SummaryThis paper presents a study of the magnetic leakage field of a 7 kW wireless electric vehicle charging (WEVC) system. The leakage field was measured in different test configurations and environments. Typical system parameters, such as coil offset and air gap were evaluated in order to determine their influence on the leakage field distribution. All measured results were then validated by magnetic field simulations. Based on the results of this study, a magnetic leakage field assessment method based on simulation is proposed.
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.
