Abstract
One example discloses an inductive power transmit device, including: a power controller configured to be coupled to a set of primary inductive coils; wherein the power controller is configured to supply power to a first subset of the primary coils; wherein the first subset of primary coils are configured to inductively transfer power to a set of secondary inductive coils; wherein the power controller is configured to supply the power to a second subset of the primary coils in response to a threshold movement of the secondary inductive coils with respect to the primary inductive coils; and wherein the power controller is configured to determine the movement based on the power supplied to the first subset of primary coils, and a ratio of power supplied to one primary coil in the first subset of primary coils as compared to power supplied to all coils in the first subset of coils.
