Design of a Contactless Power Supply for Magnetically Levitated Elevator Systems Integrated into the Guide Rail

Abstract:

A contactless energy transmission system is essential to supply onboard systems of magnetically levitated vehicles without physical contact to the guide rail. This paper introduces a contactless power supply (CPS) where the primary is integrated into the guide rail of an electromagnetic guiding system (MGS). The secondary is mounted onboard the elevator car. The advantages of this system when compared to existing energy transmission systems are the low requirement of construction space and reduced costs.
