An arrangement for inductively transmitting energy for charging an energy storage device of a rail vehicle. A first induction element transfers energy to a second induction element. An inverter with an adjustable AC voltage frequency provides an AC voltage to the first induction element. A controller controls the AC voltage frequency of the inverter. A measuring device ascertains a power output value during the wireless energy transmission and transmits the value to the controller and the controller adjusts AC voltage frequency of the inverter downward from an upper threshold until a pre-specified power output value is set while energy is being transmitted. The first induction element is paired with a track for rail traffic. The system and a method are also described for inductively transmitting energy for charging an energy storage device of a rail vehicle.

The invention relates to a variable transformer comprising at least one primary winding and at least one secondary winding which can be rotated in relation thereto. The primary winding and the secondary winding are subdivided into at least two winding sections. The winding sections interlock in a comb-like manner and the flow of current of directly opposite winding sections is directed in the respective opposite direction.

A magnetic field production system is proposed and has a two-dimensional winding configuration with two windings. The windings are disposed essentially orthogonally with respect to one another and enclose a machine or system. The windings have winding axes that are essentially at right angles to one another, and which are supplied with alternating variables via two feed circuits. In order to produce a two-dimensional, rotating magnetic field, the two alternating variables are at the same frequency, have similar current amplitudes and similar voltage amplitudes, and are synchronized to one another. A phase shift of preferably 90&#xb0; is set between the alternating variable of the first feed circuit and the alternating variable of the second feed circuit. Furthermore, a three-dimensional magnetic field, as well as an configuration for wire-free supply of a large number of sensors and/or actuators using a magnetic field production system are possible.
