CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18482080 titled 'CAPACITIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power transfer system for electric vehicles using capacitive coupling between conductor plates.
- Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides power to the electric vehicle (EV)
- First conductor plate connected to the primary-side circuit of the EVSE
- Compensation circuit transfers power input signal from EVSE to the first conductor plate
- Second conductor plate in the EV connected to the electric power reception device
- Secondary-side circuit transfers power signal from the second conductor plate to a load
- Power is transferred from EVSE to EV through capacitive coupling between the conductor plates
Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
A power transfer system includes an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for providing electric power to an electric vehicle (EV) and an electric power reception device mounted in the EV; a first conductor plate electrically connected to a primary-side circuit of the EVSE; a compensation circuit for transferring a power input signal of the EVSE to the first conductor plate; a second conductor plate disposed in the EV and connected to the electric power reception device; and a secondary-side circuit for transferring a power signal received by the second conductor plate to a load, where the electric power is transferred from the EVSE to the EV by capacitive coupling between the first conductor plate and the second conductor plate.
