Abstract
A method and an apparatus for triggering an emergency shutdown of the inductive charging of a secondary-side component in the form of a motor vehicle by a primary-side component in the form of a charging station, includes a plurality of charging system parts of the secondary-side component. The charging system parts are each configured to interrupt at least one switchable communication channel that connects the charging system parts in order to trigger an emergency shutdown of the inductive charging.

An apparatus for triggering an emergency shutdown of an inductive charging system for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication channel connecting charging system components for triggering an emergency shutdown of the inductive charging system;
- and
- a plurality of escalation levels permitting different emergency shutdown mechanisms to be activated.
A motor vehicle, comprising:
- a motor vehicle inductive charging system for receiving power from a charging station;
- the motor vehicle being configured to trigger an emergency shutdown of a charging operation;
- the motor vehicle including a communication channel configured to communicate to a charging station;
- the motor vehicle being configured to communicate a trigger for an emergency shutdown of said inductive charging system;
- and
- a plurality of escalation levels permitting the vehicle to activate different emergency shutdown mechanisms.
A method for triggering an emergency shutdown of the inductive charging of a secondary-side charging system component in the form of a vehicle by a primary-side charging system component in the form of a charging station, the method comprising the following steps:
- using a communication channel to interconnect charging system components;
- and
- communicating a plurality of escalation levels permitting different emergency shutdown mechanisms to be activated.
