Abstract:
A vehicle having a wireless power system is provided. The vehicle includes a tractor and a trailer mounted to the tractor, the tractor having a tractor frame and the trailer having a refrigeration unit. A first inductive charging pad is mounted on the trailer, the first inductive charging pad electrically connected to a portion of the refrigeration unit. A second inductive charging pad is mounted on the tractor, the second inductive charging pad electrically connected to a portion of the tractor and configured to induce an electrical current in the first inductive charging pad. The first inductive charging pad and the second inductive charging pad are configured such that the second charging pad can induce and maintain the electric current in the first inductive charging pad throughout a range of relative rotation.
