At Fraunhofer IISB, we are at the forefront of researching and developing inductive power transfer (IPT) technologies. IPT enables fully contactless energy transmission – wear- and spark-free – providing the highest level of operational safety, especially in dusty, humid, or rotating applications where traditional connectors fail prematurely. Therefore, this technology offers added value in a wide range of applications, for example:
- Custom-made auxiliary power supplies (e.g. from 48 V to 48 V or 24 V to 24 V) for applications with very high isolation requirements
- Wireless plugs for demanding ambient conditions
- Energy supply for moved or rotated electrical loads
- Wireless charging for electric vehicles: up to 11 kW for stationary applications and up to 20 kW for dynamic in-road systems in cooperation with the E|Road Center department.
We develop and realize complete inductive power transfer systems ranging from the FEM simulation as well as power electronics analysis/simulation and mechanical integration to the realization of complete demonstrators.
