Abstract

Power is transmitted from a feeding coil L2 to a receiving coil L3 by magnetic resonance. A VCO 202 alternately turns ON/OFF switching transistors Q1 and Q2 to feed AC current to the feeding coil L2, whereby the AC power is fed from the feeding coil L2 to the receiving coil L3. An AC magnetic field generated by AC current IS flowing in the feeding coil L2 causes inductive current ISS to flow in a detection coil LSS. A phase detection circuit 150 compares the phase of AC voltage generated by the VCO 202 and phase of the inductive current ISS to detect the phase difference between voltage and current phases and generates phase difference indicating voltage indicating the magnitude of the phase difference. The reset circuit 102 forcibly reduces the phase difference indicating voltage when the phase difference indicating voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold.
