Abstract

An inductive power transfer pad for inductive power transfer to a vehicle, which includes a stationary part and a movable part, where the movable part includes a primary winding structure for generating a magnetic or electromagnetic field while an electric current flows through windings of the primary winding structure. The inductive power transfer pad includes at least one actuator for actuating motion of the movable part and the movable part is movable at least into a first direction by the at least one actuator so as to move between a retracted state and an extended state. The inductive power transfer pad includes a cleaning device integrated in the inductive power transfer pad and adapted to remove foreign matters from a space between the stationary part and the movable part.
