Claim Text:
1. A system for transferring electric energy to a vehicle, comprising: at least one electric conductor arrangement for producing an alternating electromagnetic field and for thereby transferring electromagnetic energy to the vehicle, the conductor arrangement comprises a plurality of segments, wherein each segment extends along a section of the path of travel of the vehicle, each segment comprises one line for each phase of an alternating current which is to be carried by the segment in order to produce the electromagnetic field, a plurality of source units for providing the alternating current to the respective segment, the system comprises a current supply for conducting electric energy to the plurality of source units, the plurality of source units are connected in parallel to each other with respect to the current supply, at least a first source unit of the plurality of source units is connectable to each segment of a first set of at least two segments of the at least one conductor arrangement, and each neighboring segment to each segment of the first set of segments is exclusively connectable to another source unit.
