The most important physical basis for contactless energy transmission is electromagnetism. This results from a combination of magnetic and electric fields. Considered by themselves, these fields are static and thus limited to the place where they are generated. If magnetic and electric fields interact, however, they can leave their place of origin as electromagnetic alternating fields.
Such alternating electromagnetic fields are used in contactless energy transmission. The energy is transmitted from a primary coil to a secondary coil. In principle, the primary coil is applied to an external electrical voltage. The incoming current generates an alternating magnetic field. If the secondary coil is then brought close to the primary coil without direct contact, this alternating field transmits an alternating voltage to the secondary coil.
Mains fluctuations are completely normal in our power grid. Everyone knows this from home: It's Sunday lunchtime and households are cooking. The hotplates take a little longer to heat up or you set them one step higher. Depending on where you are in the world, such mains fluctuations can occur to a greater or lesser extent, even leading to power failures.
Industry also has to deal with such mains fluctuations and outages in the power supply, because they can have a significant negative impact on plant availability.
This is where special industrial single-energy storage solutions – such as our "Drive Power Solutions" MOVI-DPS® – can help to ensure a stable power supply to plants. Here, electrical energy is stored in storage capacitors and then made available again according to demand.
Whenever longer distances need to be covered without obstructive and high-maintenance drag chains, conductor systems and rigid floor installations such as conveyor belts, our MOVITRANS® line solution for contactless energy transfer is the ideal choice. Quiet, wear-free and low-maintenance.
Whenever, for example, mobile assistance systems or people movers need to move freely in space independently of fixed distances, the energy must be transferred to a battery or capacitor storage unit at a specific point. This is where our solution: MOVITRANS® spot ensures perfect, contactless energy transfer. Clean, wear-free and low-maintenance - ideal even for such critical areas where contamination due to energy transfer is to be avoided.
The perfect complement to the solutions with contactless energy transfer MOVITRANS®: The MOVI-DPS® power supply with its components enables intelligent power and energy management in mobile and stationary applications. In this way, you protect your system against power fluctuations or power failures and ensure maximum availability. At the same time, you only draw as much power from the grid as necessary.
