Abstract

In this paper, magnetic field emissions (MFE) from a 50 kW bipolar coil-based three-phase wireless charging system (WCS) is investigated. Then, a shield design is proposed to suppress the MFE below the safety limit identified by the International Commission of Non-Ionized Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines. Bipolar coil-based three-phase 3 WCSs provide extremely high power-density; therefore, the 3 WCSs are highly promising for high-power fast-wireless-charging of the electric vehicles. For the high-power EV application, it is a critical challenge to design a shield to suppress the MFE below the safety limit. The traditional aluminum shield is found ineffective for the bipolar 3-WCS. The proposed shield is designed with high-permeability magnetic material, i.e. ferrite, nanocrystalline material, etc. The proposed shield is simulated in finite element analysis (FEA) and the FEA results show that the proposed magnetic shield effectively suppresses the magnetic field emission below the ICNIRP limit. The generalized design of the proposed shield can be used for even higher power bipolar coil based WCSs.
