Abstract. A research paper or proposal on designing a 1.6 kW Resonant Inductive Power Transfer (IPT)
system for electric vehicles (EVs). Design, Modeling, and Analysis of a 1.6 kW Resonant IPT System for
EVs. To Enhance Design Performance: Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of power transfer compared
to traditional EV charging systems. Conduct Loss Analysis and Analyze and minimize losses associated with
the IPT system. The Advantage Highlight advantages of the proposed system over existing EV charging

a, b, r, and n represent the size of wires and the number of
turns in a coil. The transmitter coil in Figure 1 has dimen-
sions of 7.8 m for a, 6.3 m for b, and 16 turns for n. The
coils used in this investigation were constructed from
3 mm Litz wire capable of carrying a current of 40-A.
The research calculated the inductance of the transmitter
coil to be 398 lH for circular coils and 107 lH for square
coils using equation (1). The inductance and Q-factor of
the transmitter coil were measured in a shielded environ-
ment using an LCR metre by varying the frequency. Fig-
