Belongs to:
Home
Synonyms:
Battery charger, Cell phone charger, Charger, Charger for cordless telephones, Mobile phone charger
Description:

A charging station is a stationary device or a stationary installation that provides energy for the recharging of battery-operated devices or vehicles. Due to the operation with mains voltage, the electrical and magnetic fields have a fundamental frequency of 50 Hz resp. 60 Hz.

In the following, only measurement data for conducted energy transmission is presented. Data regarding wireless energy transmission can be found under "wireless power transfer".

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
