Structure of Handheld Resonant Magnetic Coupling Charger (HH-RMCC) for Electric Vehicle Considering Electromagnetic Field

Abstract

Inductive charging is a convenient method to transfer electrical power from a source to the batteries without any electrical contact. The problem is that inductive charging technologies may have electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues caused by leakage magnetic field. In this paper, an inductive charger design for electric vehicles (EVs) named as Handheld Resonant Magnetic Coupling Charger (HH-RMCC) is proposed. The air gap and thickness of the ferrite core are determined considering the core saturation and leakage magnetic field. The maximum value of the simulated magnetic flux density at the distance of 200 mm away from the charger is 2.28 mG and the simulation result of the power transfer efficiency is approximately 99.5%. The simulation results using 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool show that HH-RMCC satisfies EMF regulation published by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation and Protection (ICNIRP) at the frequency of 20 kHz with high performance.
