CPS^® (Contactless Power System) is the contactless power transmission system from VAHLE. The power is transmitted inductively similar to the transformer principle along an "elongated" coil.
The advantages of this system are many.

• Maintenance free and thus high utilization of equipment with low operating costs.
• No limit to traveling speed or rate of acceleration for the mobile power load.
• No noise and contact brush dust as CPS current transfer occurs without direct contact.
• Large runway tolerance due to permissible air gap between pickup coil and primary winding.
• Unlimited use even under extreme environmental conditions, e.g., dust, water, ice, wind, etc.
• High efficiency due to optimum component selection and use of state-of-the-art power electronics.
