Abstract
A power transmitter includes a power converter that converts power fed from a power source into first DC power, an inverter circuit that converts the first DC power into first AC power, a power transmission coil that generates a magnetic field based on the first AC power, and is magnetically coupled with a power reception coil included in the power receiver, a sensor that detects a current and a voltage of the first DC power, and a controller that controls the power converter, wherein the controller controls the power converter to raise a voltage of the first DC power up to a first voltage lower than a predetermined power feeding time voltage predetermined, and determines whether power is not allowed to be fed to the power receiver based on the current of the first DC power when the voltage of the first DC power is the first voltage.
