CSA Preface 

This is the second edition of CSA C22.2 No. 61980-1, Electric vehicle wireless power transfer (WPT) systems – Part 1: General requirements , which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61980-1 (second edition, 2020-11). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2016 as CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61980-1 (adopted IEC 61980-1:2015). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA C22.2 No. 61980-1" throughout. CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Standard was made possible, in part, by the financial support of Natural Resources Canada. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Integrated Committee on Electric Vehicles, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. 

Scope 

This part of IEC 61980 applies to the supply device for charging electric road vehicles using wireless methods at standard supply voltages per IEC 60038 up to 1 000 V AC and up to 1 500 V DC. Electric road vehicles (EV) covers road vehicles, including plug-in hybrid road vehicles (PHEV) that derive all or part of their energy from on-board rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS). This document also applies to wireless power transfer (WPT) equipment supplied from on-site storage systems (e.g. buffer batteries). The aspects covered in this document include 

- the characteristics and operating conditions of a supply device, 

- the specification for required level of electrical safety of a supply device, 

- communication between EV device and vehicle to enable and control WPT, 

- efficiency, alignment and other activities to enable WPT, and 

- specific EMC requirements for a supply device. The following aspects are under consideration for future documents: 

- requirements for MF-WPT systems supplying power to EVs in motion; 

- requirements for bidirectional power transfer. 

This document does not apply to: 

- safety aspects related to maintenance, 

- WPT system for trolley buses, rail vehicles and vehicles designed primarily for use off‑road, and 

- any safety or EMC requirements for the vehicle side.
