In-Vehicle Assessment of Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields from 25-kW Wireless Power Transfer System Based on Near-Field Analysis
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology has the potential to be a convenient and reliable charging method for the light and heavy duty electric vehicles. However, the loose coupling between the two sides results in strong near-electromagnetic fields (EMFs) around the system, which may have the possibility to impact human safety if the standard limits are exceeded. Therefore, comprehensive tests are necessary to ensure the electromagnetic fields are with in safe limits. This paper presents a test methodology for the near-field from a 25-kW WPT system from Momentum Dynamics, which is installed in a heavy-duty electric shuttle at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The paper describes in detail the measuring device, test setup, and conditions.
