Component Deep Dive

Every part, explained.

Scroll through each component of the ElectraDock wireless charging system. Watch it rotate, read what it does.

01

Transmitter

The transmitter is a flush-mounted pad embedded into the parking surface. It houses a precision-wound coil that generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field at 85 kHz. IP68-rated and engineered to withstand vehicle loads, weather, and daily abuse while remaining completely invisible to the street.

Frequency85 kHz
RatingIP68
Power11 kW
02

Receiver

Mounted to the vehicle's underside, the receiver pad captures the transmitter's magnetic field and converts it back to electrical current via electromagnetic induction. Precision-aligned ferrite cores achieve >93% coupling efficiency across a ±150mm misalignment tolerance.

Efficiency>93%
Tolerance±150mm
Alignment±2mm
03

Rectifier

The rectifier converts the high-frequency AC output from the receiver into clean, stable DC power. It shapes the charge profile to match the vehicle battery's requirements, managing voltage, current limits, and thermal boundaries in real time.

ThermalActive
04

Inverter

The inverter takes grid AC power and converts it to the precise high-frequency signal that drives the transmitter coil. It operates at 85 kHz with SiC (Silicon Carbide) MOSFETs for minimal switching losses and maximum power density.

Frequency85 kHz
Loss<2%
05

FOD Sensor

Safety-critical sensing layer that monitors the air gap between transmitter and receiver. If any metallic object such as a coin, a key, or debris enters the field, charging halts in under 3 seconds. Uses a combination of inductive and thermal sensing to detect objects as small as a paperclip.

Detection<3s
Sensitivity1cm²
MethodInductive
06

Charging Station

The street-side station houses the inverter, grid connection, and communications module. It manages power delivery, authenticates vehicles via cloud, monitors system health, and provides status feedback through a minimal LED interface.
