The contactless power transmission facilitates the realization of moving systems with zero rate of wear and without carrying energy storage elements. The electrical energy is transferred magnetically in a middle frequency range in order to minimize the magnetic devices. The transmission system consists of an extensive primary coil and a movable secondary coil coupled via an air gap. The primary sided inverter feeds a middle frequency current or voltage into the transformer. Secondary sided there is another converter feeding the load (eg. the moving system's drive). This inverter is used to adjust the active power and to minimize the occurring reactive power. Objective of this work is to develop primary and secondary sided inverter topologies for different transformers.
