Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A contactless power feeding apparatus includes a secondary winding to which power is supplied from a primary winding by an AC power supply. An impedance absolute-value characteristic of Z 1 has a frequency of a fundamental wave component to be between a frequency where a local maximum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component, and a frequency where a local minimum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component. An impedance absolute-value characteristic of Z 2 has the frequency of the fundamental wave component to be between a frequency where the local maximum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component, and a frequency where the local minimum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A contactless power feeding apparatus comprising a secondary winding to which power is supplied from a primary winding by an AC power supply, wherein an impedance absolute-value characteristic of Z 1 with respect to a frequency has a frequency of a fundamental wave component of the AC power supply to be between a frequency where a local maximum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component of the AC power supply, and a frequency where a local minimum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component, and an impedance absolute-value characteristic of Z 2 with respect to the frequency has the frequency of the fundamental wave component to be between a frequency where the local maximum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component of the AC power supply, and a frequency where the local minimum exists and that is nearest to the frequency of the fundamental wave component, where Z 1 indicates the impedance of just a primary side when viewed from an output side of the AC power supply, and Z 2 indicates an impedance of just a secondary side when viewed from a side of a load to be connected to the secondary winding. 2. The contactless power feeding apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a first capacitor is connected in series with the primary winding, a second capacitor is connected in parallel with the primary winding, a third capacitor is connected in series with the secondary winding, and a fourth capacitor is connected in parallel with the secondary winding, and the following relationships are satisfied: f 1A <f 0 <f 1B ; and f 2A <f 0 <f 2B , provided that the following equations are satisfied: f 1 ⁢ ⁢ A = 1 2 ⁢ π ⁢ L 1 ⁡ ( C 1 ⁢ s + C 1 ⁢ p ) , f 1 ⁢ ⁢ B = 1 2 ⁢ π ⁢ L 1 ⁢ C 1 ⁢ p , ⁢ f 2 ⁢ ⁢ A = 1 2 ⁢ π ⁢ L 2 ⁡ ( C 2 ⁢ S + C 2 ⁢ p ) , and f 2 ⁢
