On-Line Electric Vehicle using inductive power transfer system

In this paper, 3 generations of OLEV (On-Line Electrical Vehicle) are introduced. The 1st generation of OLEV is conventional E-type structure. The air gap of the 1st generation is 1cm and the input to output power efficiency is 80% with 3 kW output power. The ultra slim U-type mono rail structure is applied to the 2nd generation of OLEV. This structure is applied to the OLEV bus which achieves 52 kW output power with 72% efficiency at 17 cm air gap. SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) equipped with the 3rd generation of OLEV named ultra slim W-type (dual rail structure) accomplished 15 kW/pick-up and 71% efficiency at 17 cm air gap
