Resonant wireless power transfer has attracted much attention in recent decades. In some practical applications such as wireless sensor networks, multiple-load transfer over various distances is required. In this letter, the intermediate-coil structure is utilized to transfer the same power to multiple loads over various distances, which indicates that the intermediate coils work both as relay resonators and as power receivers. The mathematical model is built and in-depth analysis is conducted. Four important factors, namely the source matching factor, the load matching factor, the transfer quality factor, and the reflected impedance factor, are employed to build the mathematical model of -load transfer. The conditions to transmit the same power to all the loads attached in each relay resonator are investigated. The optimal load resistance and the highest efficiency with the same load resistance are derived. The theoretical calculations and the experimental results of double-load and three-load transfer confirm the analysis.Index Terms-Intermediate coils, magnetic resonance, multiple loads, relay resonators, wireless power transfer (WPT).

Transient voltage unbalance is the major problem that limits the application of series-connected IGBTs in highvoltage and high-power converters. Asynchronous gate delay causes series-connected IGBTs not to turn-on and turn-off at the same time resulting in severely unbalanced voltage sharing. An active voltage balancing control technique is proposed in this paper to solve the asynchronous gate delay problem. By sampling the feedback signal caused by unbalanced voltage sharing, the microcontroller generates a time delay for the gate driver to compensate the asynchronous gate delay. The most vital part of active voltage balancing control, the status feedback circuit, is also discussed in detail in this paper. The function of the status feedback circuit and the effect of active voltage balancing control are verified in a two series-connected HV-IGBTs platform in rated operation (5 kV bus voltage and 600 A load current).
