Abstract
In this study, the magnetic field emission (MFE) is investigated for matching (identical primary and secondary couplers) and interoperating (different couplers) 11 kW wireless charging systems (WCS). The interoperating charging pads generate higher MFE than the matching charging-pads; hence, using interoperable couplers requires a more effective shielding. In this work, different shield topologies are investigated to suppress the MFE for interoperable conditions. Four 11 kW WCSs with the unipolar (uni) and bipolar (bi) transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) pads has been investigated: 1) uniTx with uniRx, 2) uniTx with biRx, 3) biTx with uniRx, and 4) biTx with bi-Rx. The studied systems are designed for 11 kW WPT3 level with Z2 airgap class (140-150 mm) resembling the standard SAE-J2954. The WCSs are simulated in finite element analysis (FEA) and validated experimentally using a 11 kW biTx-biRx system. The experimental results match with the simulation results with <5% error. The FEA results show that a biTx needs a magnetic shield, and a uniTx needs an aluminum shield to meet the MFE under all interoperability and alignment conditions.
