5 Requirements regarding environmental conditions
The requirements given in this document shall be met across the range of environmental conditions as
specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
The environmental requirements applicable to a component depend on its mounting position. The component
shall withstand and retain its degree of protection under the typical loads and stresses it is subjected to in
its intended mounting position.
Components of the EV device installed at the underbody of the EV shall have IP degree IP6K7 and IP6K9K in
accordance with ISO 20653.
NOTE See the ISO 16750 series, the ISO 21498 series and the ISO 19453 series for guidance.
6 Classification
This document specifies requirements that address the following aspects of MF-WPT systems:
— system safety (Clause 10),
— system performance (Clause 7),
— interoperability.
Requirements regarding system safety and system performance are relevant and applicable to any MF-WPT
system (including dedicated single-supplier solutions).
The interoperability requirements supplement the safety and performance requirements in order to allow
for interoperability of a supply device and an EV device provided by independent suppliers.
There are two compatibility classes to accommodate these design considerations:
— Compatibility class A: EV devices of this class are intended for interoperable application and are required
to meet a set of safety and performance requirements. Cross-supplier interoperability is tested with the
reference supply power circuits as specified in Annex A and Annex B.
— Compatibility class B: EV devices of this class are not intended for interoperable application but still are
required to meet the set of safety requirements. Performance requirements may be different than those
of compatibility class A. EV devices of this class are tested with supplier-specified supply power circuits.
7 MF-WPT power transfer requirements
7.1 General
Unless otherwise specified, the requirements in Clause 7 refer to EVPCs of both compatibility classes.
Conformance to the requirements in 7.2 to 7.6 is tested according to 7.7. EVPCs of compatibility class A are
tested with the reference supply power circuits described in Annexes A and B. EVPCs of compatibility class
B are tested with supplier specific supply power circuits.
The supplier shall specify the ODD of an EVPC according to Table 1.

NOTE 1 Typically, the output voltage range of the EVPC is aligned with the voltage range of the RESS.
NOTE 2 7.3 gives additional information for the determination of centre alignment point(s).
7.2 Frequency
MF-WPT for EVs operates in the frequency range of 79 kHz - 90 kHz. The operating frequency during power
transfer is set by the supply device according to IEC 61980-2.
7.3 Geometrical operating space
An EVPC shall meet the requirements of 7.4 and 7.5 within its entire geometrical operating space defined by
its secondary device ground clearance range and the alignment tolerance area according to Table 1.
In case of MF-WPT between a primary device and a secondary device of different topologies, several centre
alignment points can exist. Examples are shown in Figure 2.
Key
1 centre alignment point of the EVPC
2 alignment tolerance area
3 direction of travel
Figure 2 — Example for centre alignment points between different coil topologies
The centre alignment points of supply power circuits are determined according to IEC 61980-3.
The centre alignment point(s) of the EVPC shall be specified with respect to the centre alignment points
provided by the supply power circuit.
The requirements in this document apply to all centre alignment points specified for an EVPC.
The vehicle manufacturer may specify only one centre alignment point for alignment with a primary device
of a different topology.
NOTE The selection of a single point can be due to a variety of reasons, for example the influence of the EV on the
distribution of the magnetic field or the position of the EV within a parking spot.
7.4 Requirements for output power
An EVPC shall be able to deliver power up to its rated output power when operated with a supply power
circuit.
An EVPC shall support the maximum ramp up rate of the supply power circuit. The maximum ramp up rate
of supply circuits for EVPCs of compatibility class A is specified in IEC 61980-3.
7.5 Requirements for power transfer efficiency
Power transfer efficiency is the ratio of the output power of the EVPC (output of key label 23 in Figure 1)
divided by the input power of the supply power circuit (input to key label 13 in Figure 1).
An EVPC of compatibility class B shall support the minimum power transfer efficiency according to Table 2
when operated at rated output power with a supply power circuit.
Table 2 — Minimum power transfer efficiency (compatibility class B)
Alignment Minimum power transfer efficiency
Centre alignment point 85 %
Within alignment tolerance area 80 %
IEC 61980-3 specifies several transfer power classes for supply power circuits of compatibility class A. EVPCs
of compatibility class A can be operated (continuously) at power levels other than their rated output power.
Thus, an EVPC of compatibility class A shall support the minimum power transfer efficiency according to
Table 3 when operated with a supply power circuit.

7.6 Requirements for output voltage
7.6.1 Performance requirements at different output voltage levels
An EVPC shall meet the requirements of 7.4 and 7.5 within its geometrical operating space according to 7.3
throughout its specific output voltage range when operated with a supply power circuit.
7.6.2 Voltage ripple and voltage overshoot
The vehicle manufacturer and supplier shall agree on the DC output voltage overshoot, the peak voltage and
the voltage ripple amplitude of an EVPC, taking into account the implication on the RESS and other on-board
components.
NOTE A typical value for DC output voltage overshoot is ±1 %/ms. A typical value for the peak voltage is 10 % of
the nominal DC output voltage. A typical value of the DC output voltage ripple amplitude is ± 8 V.
7.7 MF-WPT power transfer test procedure
7.7.1 General
Subclause 7.7 describes the test setup and procedure to be applied for conformance testing of the
requirements specified in 7.2 to 7.6.
7.7.2 Test setup
7.7.2.1 General
MF-WPT is influenced by the materials in the surroundings, especially by the material structure of the
EV. Reliable testing results can only be achieved when influencing materials of the EV are adequately
represented in the test setup. This can either be accomplished by testing at the vehicle level or by including
relevant parts of the vehicle when testing is done at component level according to 7.7.2.3.
7.7.2.2 Vehicle level testing

Figure 3 — Exemplary test setup for vehicle level testing
The EVPC shall be fixed to the EV at its intended mounting position.
NOTE This includes the positions of all components of the EVPC, in case they are not within one housing.
The load shall either be an RESS or a representative simulated DC load.
The supply power circuits to be used for testing the EVPC are described in 7.7.2.2.
The alignment shall be adjustable in the x-, y-, and z-directions to enable measurements at the alignment
points according to Table 4. Alignment may be adjusted by either moving the EV, moving the supply power
circuit or moving both.
The components of the test bench and the ground shall not significantly influence the MF-WPT. The entire
test setup may also be lifted to a height that avoids potential influences of the ground.
7.7.2.3 Component level testing
As an alternative for the vehicle level, the testing may also be done at the component level.
Figure 4 exhibits the components required for MF-WPT testing in an exemplary test setup for component
level testing.

Compared to vehicle level testing, a vehicle mimic shall be used instead of an EV.
The vehicle mimic shall include all components of the EV that the EVPC is intended to be mounted to, i.e.
the components that significantly influence MF-WPT. This includes shielding components or metallic beams
exposed to the magnetic field.
All other requirements described in the test setup for vehicle level testing in 7.7.2.2 shall apply to component
level testing as well.
7.7.2.4 Supply power circuits to test against
An EVPC of compatibility class A shall be tested with the reference supply power circuits described in
Annexes A and B.
An EVPC of compatibility class B shall be tested with a supply power circuit specified and provided by the
supplier. The compatibility class B supply power circuit specified and provided by the supplier can be a
reference supply power circuit described in Annex A or Annex B.
NOTE Annex C describes an example for a different implementation of a supply power circuit.
7.7.2.5 Test conditions
Testing is carried out under the following conditions:
— ambient temperature of (20 ± 5) °C;
— MF-WPT system in steady state.
7.7.3 Test procedure
7.7.3.1 General
The measurements described in 7.7.3.2 to 7.7.3.4 are conducted within the ODD specified by the supplier
according to Table 1.
7.7.3.2 Alignment points
The alignments points for conformance testing are depicted in Figure 5 and Table 4. In one of the points
at maximum misalignment in the x- and y-directions, additional testing or appropriate simulations shall
be performed with +3° yaw and –3° yaw. The positive direction of the yaw angle is counter-clockwise. The
negative direction is clockwise around the centre alignment point, when seen from above (towards the
negative z-direction).

For EVPCs of compatibility class B, the values for x and y shall be in accordance with the specific alignment
tolerance area of the EVPC (see 7.3).
7.7.3.3 Output power and power transfer efficiency
At each alignment point described in 7.7.3.2, the supply power circuits according to 7.7.2.2 shall be operated
with the MF-WPT input power that is needed by the EVPC to provide its rated output power. These
measurements shall be performed at the following voltage levels:
— minimum voltage of output voltage range +50 % of output voltage range,
— maximum voltage of output voltage range −10 % of output voltage range.
EXAMPLE For an output voltage range of 200 V to 400 V, the corresponding voltage levels are 300 V and 380 V.
For EVPCs of compatibility class A, the reference supply power circuits shall be operated at 85 kHz. In case
the performance requirements are not met, the frequency may be adjusted within the range described in 7.2.
For EVPCs of compatibility class B, the supply power circuit shall be operated at the frequency according to
the specifications of the supplier within the range described in 7.2.
NOTE The MF-WPT input power of the reference supply power circuits is limited according to the specifications
in Annexes A and B, or, in case of compatibility class B testing, by the specifications of the supplier, respectively.
The test is passed when the EVPC provides 90 % of its rated output power at all measurements and fulfils the
power transfer efficiency requirements according to 7.5 at all measurements. Examples are given in Table 5.
When testing an EVPC of compatibility class A with the reference supply power circuit in Annex A, exceptions
apply for the following cases, where the rated output power of the EVPC cannot be reached due to the limited
MF-WPT input power of the reference supply power circuit:
a) the rated output power of the EVPC is greater than 3,7 kW;
b) the rated output power of the EVPC is equal to or less than 3,7 kW.
For case a), the test is deemed to have passed when the MF-WPT input power of the reference supply power
circuit reaches 3,33 kW (90 % of 3,7 kW), the EVPC provides any output power and the EVPC fulfils the
power transfer efficiency requirements according to 7.5 at all measurements.
For case b), the test is passed when the MF-WPT input power of the reference supply power circuit reaches
90 % of the rated output power of the EVPC and the EVPC fulfils the power transfer efficiency requirements
according to 7.5 at all measurements.

7.7.3.4 Output voltage
In order to verify the requirements for the DC output voltage (as per 7.6.2), the following test shall be applied:
It is recommended to connect the EVPC to an RESS, as used in the EV the EVPC is designed for.
The EVPC shall be placed in one of the alignment points with maximum misalignment. The power shall be
ramped up from zero to the rated output power of the EVPC with the maximum rate of supply power circuits
according to 7.4. The test is passed when the DC output voltage is within the requirements of 7.6.2 during
the entire test procedure.
8 Requirements for communication and MF-WPT activities
According to IEC 61980-2, the operation process for MF-WPT is modelled as a WPT session, which is
organized by a sequence of activities.
These activities are executed or supported by communication between the EV device and the supply device.
An EV device shall fulfil the applicable requirements given in IEC 61980-2.
9 EMC requirements
An EVPC shall conform to the limits described in IEC 61980-1, when operated with a supply device.
Conformance can be proven in a vehicle level test or component level test.
The measurement shall be done at worst-case operating conditions of the EVPC. Clause D.2 gives guidance
on how to determine these worst-case operating conditions.
The measurement setup shall be in accordance with IEC 61980-3.
10 Safety requirements
10.1 Emergency shutdown triggered by the EV
The MF-WPT system shall be treated as an electric power source that can be de-energized.
The vehicle manufacturer shall execute a risk assessment to identify conditions in which an emergency
shutdown is required.
For the conditions identified in the risk assessment, the EV or EV device shall disconnect the power transfer
to the RESS to initiate an emergency shutdown.
NOTE The specification for detection and reaction timing of the EV device is at the discretion of the supplier.
Requirements for reaction times of the supply device in case of an emergency shutdown are specified in IEC 61980-2
and IEC 61980-3.
Examples for means to initiate an emergency shutdown are:
— protection measures against overcharge of the RESS (e.g. disconnection relay);
— protection measures against overcurrent of the EVPC and RESS (e.g. disconnection relay);
— protection measures against overvoltage of the EVPC (e.g. emergency short circuit device).
Conformance is checked by inspection.
10.2 Protection against electric shock
10.2.1 General
Subclause 10.2 applies only to voltage class B electric circuits of an EV device.
Design and testing for protection against electric shock shall be implemented as specified by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with ISO 6469-3, unless otherwise specified in 10.2.
The EV device shall fulfil the requirements for non-maintained isolation resistance according to
ISO 6469-3:2021, 6.3.2.2.
NOTE Requirements on post-crash electrical safety are specified in ISO 6469-4.
10.2.2 Insulation coordination
Insulation coordination shall consider the maximum internal operational voltages and overvoltages inside
the EV device. Either of the following shall be implemented:
— robust design with the capability to physically withstand possible operational voltages and overvoltages;
— means to limit the voltages to values the insulation coordination of the components is based on.
The frequency of the alternating current in the EVPC, which is considerably higher than 50 Hz or 60 Hz,
shall be considered for the insulation coordination, temperature-resistance of the materials used and
dimensioning of active parts and insulation.
Clearance, creepage distance and solid insulation of voltage class B components and wiring shall be designed
in accordance with the applicable sections of the IEC 60664 series.
10.3 Protection against thermal incidents
10.3.1 General
Thermal loads to the insulation and active parts of the EV device shall be considered under:
— all operational situations;
— shut off situations of the vehicle;
— unintended power transfer situations.
10.3.2 Overload protection and short-circuit protection
The overload protection and short circuit protection shall be according to ISO 6469-3.
10.4 Protection of people against electromagnetic effects
10.4.1 General
Subclause 10.4 specifies requirements to protect people against the effects of exposure to electromagnetic
fields. This covers protection against harmful effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields and the
protection of the functionality of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Annex D provides guidance
on how fulfilment of the specified requirements can be demonstrated.
10.4.2 Protection areas
