Publication number: 20210195811Abstract: The present invention relates to an induction charging device (1) for a vehicle charging system (2) and to a method for limiting the thermal loading of a magnetic field conductor (3) of such an induction charging device (1). The present invention is based on the general idea of suppressing or at least reducing an impermissible thermal loading of the magnetic field conductor (3), in particular the development of impermissible temperature gradients in the magnetic field conductor (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2020Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventors: Achim Wiebelt, Volker Schall, Christopher Laemmle, Holger Schroth
