Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive charging device for a vehicle and to a method for monitoring an inductive charging device for a vehicle, wherein a metal object is detected in each case. The method has the steps of: carrying out a passive metal object detection, MOD, while a battery of a vehicle (1) is inductively charged by generating an electromagnetic field in order to induce a charge current (I2) in a receiving coil structure (2) of the vehicle (1); and carrying out an active MOD at points in time at which no inductive charging process is being carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for inductively charging an electric vehicle (17), comprising a primary coil (11) for generating a main magnetic field (10) and a sensor coil system (30) for detecting electrically conductive foreign bodies, having at least one sensor coil. The sensor coils are arranged and connected relative to the primary coil (11) such that no voltages are induced by the main magnetic field (10) if interference magnetic fields generated by foreign bodies are absent in the sensor coil system (30), and a voltage is induced by the main magnetic field (10) if an interference magnetic field generated by a foreign body is present in the sensor coil system (30).
