Abstract
An inductive power transfer system and methods for controlling efficient operational wireless power transfer to an electrical device. The system includes an inductive power outlet, an inductive power receiver and a signal transfer system communicating power transfer instruction from receiver to outlet, while transferring power from the outlet to the receiver. The present invention relates to wireless power transfer systems and methods incorporating a current limiter activation mechanism to allow power transfer at an extended operational range, providing a technical solution when an inductive power outlet and an inductive power receiver are laterally misaligned.
