The invention relates to an arrangement for providing a vehicle, in particular a track bound vehicle, with electric energy, wherein the arrangement comprises a receiving device () adapted to receive an alternating electromagnetic field and to produce an alternating electric current by electromagnetic induction. The receiving device () comprises a plurality of windings and/or coils () of electrically conducting material, wherein each winding or coil () is adapted to produce a separate phase of the alternating electric current.

Inductively receiving electric energy for a vehicle

The invention relates to a system for transferring electric energy to a track bound vehicle, in particular to a light rail vehicle, such as a tram, wherein the system comprises an electric conductor arrangement () for producing an electromagnetic field and for thereby transferring the energy to the vehicle, the electric conductor arrangement () comprises at least one line () for carrying one phase of an alternating voltage or current, the line () extends along the track, the line () is arranged in such a manner that it produces&#x2014;at each point in time while the alternating electric current is flowing through the line ()&#x2014;a row of successive magnetic poles (at sections) of an electromagnetic field, wherein the successive magnetic poles have alternating magnetic polarities, the row of successive magnetic poles extends in the travel direction of the vehicle which is defined by the track.
