Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for providing a vehicle, in particular a track bound vehicle, with electric energy, wherein the arrangement comprises a receiving device (200) adapted to receive an alternating electromagnetic field and to produce an alternating electric current by electromagnetic induction. The receiving device (200) comprises a plurality of windings and/or coils (9, 10, 11) of electrically conducting material, wherein each winding or coil (9, 10, 11) is adapted to produce a separate phase of the alternating electric current.

1-19. (canceled)
An arrangement for providing a vehicle with electric energy, wherein the arrangement comprises a receiving device adapted to receive an alternating electromagnetic field and to produce an alternating electric current by electromagnetic induction, wherein the receiving device comprises a plurality of windings and/or coils of electrically conducting material, wherein each winding or coil is adapted to produce a separate phase of the alternating electric current and wherein a body comprising a ferromagnetic material is arranged above the windings and/or coils.
A method for providing a vehicle with electric energy comprising:
- a receiving device of the vehicle receiving an alternating magnetic field which is used to produce an alternating electric current by electromagnetic induction;
- and
- a plurality of windings and/or coils of electrically conducting material of the receiving device responsive to the alternating magnetic field for producing alternating electric current having a plurality of phases and wherein a body comprising a ferromagnetic material is arranged above the windings and/or coils.
