Innovative Capacitive Wireless Power System for Machines and Devices.

This article deals with the design, development, and analysis of a wireless power transfer system prototype based on capacitive coupling. The system is intended for the continuous charging of a suspended mine drivetrain. It consists of a resonant inverter, primary and secondary matching circuits, a suitable capacitive coupler, and a rectifier with a load, ultimately serving as a battery charger for a mobile energy storage device. The system successfully achieved the target output voltage of 320 V and a charger output power of 2 kW at an operating frequency of 300 kHz. Additionally, the total system efficiency was at the level of 60%, ensuring that the RMS voltages on passive components remained below 3 kV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
