Abstract:
An arrangement for providing a vehicle, in particular a track bound and/or road vehicle, with electric energy, comprising a receiving device 1 adapted to receive an alternating electromagnetic field and produce an alternating electric current by electromagnetic induction. The receiving device comprises three phase lines, 2a, 2b, 2c, connected on one side to a common star point 5, and on the other side to a bridge rectifier 10. Each phase line includes an inductance 3a, 3b, 3c and a capacitance 4a, 4b, 4c having a resonant frequency. The rectifier comprises a number of controllable switches 12, 13 and a control device to switch the switches on and off at a frequency smaller than the resonant frequency. During operation the incident electromagnetic field induces a voltage in the inductances and a corresponding alternating current flows through the phase lines, is rectified by the rectifier, and is provided to the load 17.
Abstract:
A system for transferring electric energy to a vehicle including an electric conductor arrangement for producing an alternating electromagnetic field and for thereby transferring electric energy to a vehicle, and a current supply for supplying electric energy to the segments. The conductor arrangement including a plurality of consecutive segments. Each segment includes at least one alternating current line for carrying an alternating current.
