An inductive power outlet operable to transfer power to an inductive power receiver includes a driver wired to a primary inductive coil and operable to provide a driving voltage across the primary inductive coil. The primary inductive coil is configured to form an inductive couple having a characteristic resonant frequency with at least one secondary inductive coil wired to an electric load, the secondary inductive coil being associated with the inductive power receiver. The driving voltage oscillates at a transmission frequency substantially different from the characteristic resonant frequency of the inductive couple.

In a system and method for transferring power from a wireless power outlet to a wireless power receiver, an outlet transmits a first-type ping signal transferring a burst of energy to the wireless power receiver. The outlet includes a detector able to detect when the receiver activates an over voltage protection mechanism. When the OVP is activated the outlet may transmit a lower energy second-type ping signal.
