A signal transfer system for controlling power transfer across an inductive power coupling. A transmission circuit associated with an inductive power receiver is configured to transmit a control signal to a reception circuit associated with an inductive power outlet. The transmission circuit includes an ancillary load and a switching unit for modulating power drawn by a secondary inductive coil according to the control signal. The reception circuit is configured to monitor power provided to a primary inductive coil thereby detecting the modulated control signal. The signal transfer system may be used to regulate the power supplied by the inductive coupling and to detect the presence of the secondary coil.

An efficiency monitor for monitoring the efficiency of power transmission by an inductive power outlet. The efficiency monitor includes an input power monitor, for measuring the input power delivered to the primary coil, and an output power monitor, for measuring the output power received by the secondary coil. The input and output powers are used by a processor to determine an index of power-loss. A circuit breaker may be used to disconnect the inductive power outlet in case of excessive power loss.
