In this paper, the scale reduction method is applied to an induction power transfer (IPT) system for electric vehicle charging for its rapid and low cost prototyping. In addition, a co-simulation method is proposed which is based on the coupling between a circuit analysis and a finite element (FE) analysis. Then, it is proposed to combine the scale reduction method with the co-simulation method to consider at the same time the nonlinearities due to the power electronic converter and the magnetic material characteristics of the system. Finally, a 1 kW experimental IPT system is proposed to validate both methods.
