Abstract:
An inductive power transfer (IPT) control method is disclosed for controlling the output of an IPT pick-up. The invention involves selectively shunting first and second diodes of a diode bridge to selectively rectify an AC current input for supply to a load, or recirculate the AC current to a resonant circuit coupled to the input of the controller. By controlling the proportion of each positive-negative cycle of the AC input which is rectified/recirculated, the output is regulated. Also disclosed is an IPT controller adapted to perform the method, an IPT pick-up incorporating the IPT controller, and an IPT system incorporating at least one such IPT pick-up.

Claim (Index 11):
The IPT pick-up controller of  claim 10 , wherein the controller is adapted to selectively shunt said first and second diodes using said shunting switches, whereby respective predetermined proportions of positive and negative periods of the AC current are rectified by the diode bridge and supplied to the output, and respective remaining proportions of the positive and negative periods of the AC current are recirculated to the resonant circuit.
