scope:

This part of IEC 61980 applies to the supply device for charging electric road vehicles using wireless methods at standard supply voltages ratings per IEC 60038 up to 1 000 V AC and up to 1 500 V DC. Electric road vehicles (EV) cover road vehicles, including plug-in hybrid road vehicles (PHEV) that derive all or part of their energy from on-board rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS) This standard also applies to Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) equipment supplied from on-site storage systems (e.g. buffer batteries). The aspects covered in this standard include, - the characteristics and operating conditions of a supply device, - the specification for required level of electrical safety of a supply device, - communication between EV device and vehicle to enable and control WPT, - efficiency, alignment and other activities to enable WPT, - specific EMC requirements for a supply device. The following aspects are under consideration for future documents: - requirements for two- and three-wheel vehicles, - requirements for MF-WPT systems supplying power to EVs in motion, and - requirements for bidirectional power transfer.
