Abstract
A power providing system includes at least one inductive power outlet configured to be movable behind an extended surface. The inductive power outlet includes a primary inductor configured to couple inductively with a secondary inductor wired to an electric load. The inductive power outlet is mounted upon a positioning mechanism upon which the primary inductor may be moved behind the extended surface.

10. A method for preventing an inductive power outlet from transmitting power in the absence of an electric load, said inductive power outlet comprising at least one primary inductor wired to a power supply, for inductively coupling with a secondary inductor wired to said electric load, said method comprising:
-
transmitting power from said primary inductor; detecting that said primary inductor is transmitting power; checking that said primary inductor is inductively coupled to said secondary inductor; and disconnecting said primary inductor from said power supply if no secondary inductor is detected. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
