Described is an electrical power transfer device for transferring power between two coaxial relatively rotatable components, comprising: an outer core having a magnetic flux guide, an outer electrical winding and a cavity for receiving an inner core; an inner core located at least partially within the cavity, the inner core having a magnetic flux guide and an inner winding, wherein the inner and outer core are arranged to be movable between a first configuration in which the magnetic flux guides of the inner and outer cores separated by a first distance in which power is transferred in use, and a second configuration in which the inner and outer cores are separated by a second distance, in which relative rotation of the inner and outer cores is possible in the second configuration, wherein in the first configuration the magnetic flux guides of the inner and outer cores abut one another. |
