Abstract

The authors present the application of a power delivery system design unifying power electronics and a coaxial-winding transformer for devices that require contactless connection and/or relative motion while delivering large amounts of power. The transformer´s unique characteristics and how they might be used to advantage in combination with power electronics are emphasized. Applications which have near-term realizability are flexible power distribution, material handling, autonomous electric vehicles, and battery opportunity recharge. Test results on a scale prototype are presented to verify the concepts.<>
