Abstract

A foreign metal object will deteriorate the performance of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems and cause insecurity issues. Therefore, the influence principles and rules of foreign metal objects on soft-switching conditions of Class-E inverters and the performance of WPT systems are developed in this paper. The effects of different metal materials on coil parameters at different frequencies and positions are analyzed first, then the effects of foreign metal objects on soft-switching conditions of Class-E inverters and the power transfer capability of WPT systems are investigated. Principle analyses and simulation results demonstrate that there are significantly different effects on the soft-switching conditions and power transfer when a foreign metal object is placed near the transmitter coil or the receiver coil. In addition, the monotonicity of the variation in power transfer also depends on the position of the foreign metal object. Finally, a WPT experimental prototype with a Class-E inverter is implemented to verify the influence principles and rules of foreign metal objects. The experimental results are highly consistent with the principle analyses and simulation results.
