Abstract :
This paper describes a Phase-shifted Full-Bridge (PSFB) Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) DC/DC Converter for Wireless Charging of Electric Vehicles. Wireless charging obviates the need for plug in chargers while providing convenient charging in parking lots and residential locations. A prototype charger is presented with a full working circuit. The magnetic fields around the charger as well as the mutual coupling are also described. Full experimental results are provided.
