An innovative shielding configuration of active coils is proposed to mitigate the magnetic field around an electric vehicle (EV) with a wireless power transfer (WPT) system during battery charging. The active coil is designed to reduce the risk for patients with pacemakers or similar devices produced by the time varying magnetic field generated by the 85 kHz WPT coil currents. A numerical analysis of the magnetic field levels is carried out solving the magneto-quasi-static (MQS) equations by a FEM-based commercial tool.

This paper deals with the assessment of the induced voltage in an unipolar pacing lead produced by the coil currents of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system for battery recharging of an electric vehicle (EV). In the first part of the work, the magnetic field distributions inside and outside an EV equipped with the WPT technology is carried out by finite element (FE) simulations using the artificial material single layer (AMSL) method.
