POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM AND NONCONTACT CHARGING DEVICE

摘要

A power transfer system includes a power transmission device and a power reception device. A central conductor and a peripheral conductor are formed near the upper surface of a casing of the power transmission device. The peripheral conductor surrounds the central conductor in an insulated state from the central conductor. An alternating voltage generating circuit is provided for the power transmission device and applies an alternating voltage between the central conductor and the peripheral conductor. A central conductor and a peripheral conductor are formed near the lower surface of a casing of the power reception device. The peripheral conductor surrounds the central conductor in an insulated state from the central conductor. A load circuit is provided for the power reception device, and a voltage induced between the central conductor and the peripheral conductor is applied to the load circuit.
