An inductive power transmitter and an inductive power receiver include communication circuitry to communicate using modulation of the power transfer field. The inductive power transmitter or the inductive power receiver includes monitoring circuitry to determine a communication fault condition. If a communication fault condition is determined, a converter of the inductive power transmitter or inductive power receiver can adjust a control parameter.
