NON-CONTACT POWER SUPPLY APPARATUS AND NON-CONTACT POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

摘要

A contactless power feeder of the present invention includes: a top plate which is mounted with a load; a primary coil which is arranged below the top plate and generates a high-frequency field; an inverter which feeds high-frequency power to the primary coil; a control part which controls the inverter; and a load discriminating part which determines whether the load is an object to be heated that is a metal container such as a pot and should be induction-heated, or a power receiving device provided with a secondary coil that is electromagnetically coupled with the primary coil, wherein the control part is configured to control the inverter in accordance with a result of determination by the load discriminating part.
