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 4):
The control method of  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined proportion of said positive and negative periods is proportional to a desired DC output, wherein the method further comprises sensing the DC output and adjusting said predetermined proportion accordingly to obtain a desired DC output.
