Abstract
An apparatus () for supplying power to a load in a capacitive power transfer system comprises a power generator () operating at a first frequency; a transmitter comprising a plurality of first electrodes () connected to a first terminal of the power generator () and a plurality of second electrodes () connected to a second terminal of the power generator () of a transmitter portion of the apparatus (); and a plurality of inductors (), wherein each inductor of the plurality of inductors is connected between a pair of a first electrode and a second electrode of the plurality of first and second electrodes, wherein each inductor comprises, together with a parasitic capacitor () formed between each pair of the first electrode and the second electrode, a resonant circuit at the first frequency in order to compensate for current loss due to parasitic capacitances.
