Power transfer by IPT questions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the challenges faced when using a circuit to charge a AA battery via inductive power transfer (IPT). The user reported no output readings from their basic circuit design, which lacked control devices. A suggestion was made to utilize transformer models in Multisim instead of inductors to properly simulate voltage induction in the secondary circuit, emphasizing the importance of using an appropriate turns ratio for the inductances involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of inductive power transfer (IPT) principles
  • Familiarity with Multisim simulation software
  • Basic knowledge of transformer models and turns ratio
  • Experience with circuit design for battery charging applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to model transformers in Multisim
  • Learn about the principles of inductive power transfer (IPT)
  • Explore the significance of turns ratio in transformer design
  • Investigate control devices for optimizing battery charging circuits
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, circuit designers, and anyone involved in developing inductive charging solutions or using Multisim for simulation purposes.

I am using this circuit below to charge a AA battery at the receiver's output. i think it should at least have some readings but i was wrong. there was no results at all. is there something wrong in my design. I've took the basic circuit only(hadnt add the control devices).
PS I am a noob at pspice, can any1 show me how to model the coupled inductors as IPT in the simulation?
Thanks!

At first glance, it appears your Multisim simulation doesn't know that you're trying to induce a voltage into the secondary circuit.
The first obvious place I would double check, is your Multisim program, to see if they have models for transformers, and replace your two inductors with it. Use a turns-ratio appropriate for the 2 inductances you've chosen.
