Contactless inductive power pickup system for Maglev applications

This paper describes a newly developed contactless inductive power pickup system for Maglev applications. The system consists of a loosely coupled transformer and two high-frequency power converters. Furthermore, the proposed inductive system was verified through various simulations and experiments. System performances such as magnetic coupling, energy efficiency, and power factor correction effects are included.
