Protection circuit design of wireless power transfer systems by Sim, Jia Ee

“…Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system is the transmission of electrical power through space (theory of electromagnetic field) from a transmitter device, consisting of a power source to a receiver device, consisting of an electrical load unlike the traditional electrical power transfer through electrical cables. However, fault protection is need in any electrical system such as circuit breaker. …”
