On the possibility of wireless battery charging in a gaseous-and-dusty mine

The article outlines wireless battery charging as a promising direction for electric vehicles. There is the question raised of this technology applicability in the gaseous-and-dusty mine, and for such systems, the method for ignition risk evaluation is described. It is shown that the only potential ignition source is the charging area between the coils of the wireless charger. The authors formulate the objectives for studying the electromagnetic field in the charging area and propose variants of the mathematical description for this field. The research stages are listed which are necessary to substantiate the parameters and operating modes of wireless chargers that are safe for operating in the conditions of the gaseous-and-dusty mine
