Industry Canada: New Issue on Electromagnetic Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) Devices
Wireless power transfer is essentially the transmission of power (electrical) from a power source to a consuming device with no conductors or solid wires. A device transmits power through electromagnetic fields across an intervening space to a receiver device, where it gets converted back into electric power. All Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) Devices are now under only one Industry Standard,…
